Bright Green Dorsal Stripe - Atymna querci - Male
Alexandria, Fairfax County, Virginia, USA
May 3, 2012
These cute little hoppers were at my patio lights for several weeks back in the spring.

It looks like Atymna helena or querci - I am having a hard time distinguishing this "pale crest" in the existing photos of A. helena to know what to look for.
