red-banded leafhopper - Graphocephala coccinea
Albion, Calhoun County, Michigan, USA
June 12, 2015
These leafhoppers showed up in my garden yesterday. I don't remember seeing them so early but I'm fairly sure it is a red-banded leafhopper, but not of the species. Can you help here? Thanks in advance.

OH! Thank you for that swift
OH! Thank you for that swift ID. May I confusedly ask what the difference is between the candy-striper and the red-banded one? Maybe some other new ID-er wants to know too... Anyway, thanks again. It is great to have real experts out there. :-)

Graphocephala coccinea is the only Graphocephala known to have blue stripes instead of green.
