hopper ? - Cochlorhinus pluto
Sunol regional park , Alameda County, California, USA
May 23, 2010
Size: 1/4"
At first , I thought it was a Fairy Moth by the markings but upon closer inspection ... I realized it was not a moth at all . I think it is some kind of Hopper since it did not fly away , but I don't know if it is a Sharpshooter or Leafhopper or a Spittlebug . This little fellow is a wonder to me and it would be great to know what it is even though it was the only one seen on a very long trail . Thnks for any comments , sincerely Beth

Moved from ID Request.

Taking a bit of a chance here... but this seems to be a fairly distinctive species, so I've moved it provisionally, pending Dr. Hamilton's review.
