Strange Hopper - Acanalonia bivittata
Monocacy River, Frederick County, Maryland, USA
July 12, 2009
Size: Around 1/2"
I'm thinking this is some type of leafhopper but not sure. It almost appears as if parts of this strange bug are missing but it was very much alive.

Acanalonia nymph, I think
(a planthopper). The white stuff is secreted wax--doesn't look to me like anything is missing.

The common eastern species has an all-brown nymph.

Thanks for I.D.
I've never seen one of these guys before.
