Pale white - Scaphoideus
Harms Woods Forest Preserve, Glenview, Cook County, Illinois, USA
July 12, 2007
Size: ~4mm
We weren't sure exactly what this was when we were photographing it, but once we got it on the computer screen, it looks like a recently molted nymph. It looks like one of the ones Dr Hamilton describes as having long antenna. We're not sure what seems to be stuck on its leg or abdomen. Is that part of the old exuviae? or is it one of those leafhopper parasitic wasp larva?

Scaphoideus
The prominent bristles on the abdomen indicate the genus. The black sac under the leg is attached to the abdomen; it is caused by a parasitic wasp, Dryinidae.
