Planthopper...

Thanks
Ron,

Thanks for suggesting Thionia. I'm looking through the Guide now.

 
If I had to guess...
...I would go with T. simplex but there are ten species in North America and we only have images of six. This could be one of the other four. I wouldn't suggest placing it at species level until Dr. Hamilton takes a look at it.

Great picture by the way!

 
Thionia simplex
there are only 4 species in the eastern states

 
Thanks.
Thanks for your help.
