Draeculacephala mollipes? - Draeculacephala antica

Draeculacephala mollipes? - Draeculacephala antica
Dixon, Phelps County, Missouri, USA
September 19, 2007
This is the first leaf hopper bug I've seen at my porch light. Is it Draeculacephala mollipes? I tried to research it, but my internet is slow and times out before all of the images load.

Draeculacephala antica
The head longer than the pronotum is characteristic of females of this one species.

 
Thank you
I thought I had this one, too. That's why I always post through the ID request, because I'm usually wrong--no matter how sure I am. Well, that, and the fact that I never know if my photo will add to the guide or not, so I prefer to let the experts decide what stays and what goes.

 
...and thank you!
Amateur photographers continue to amaze me; you wonderful people are sending me in real eye-openers almost every day. One never knows what to expect. Keep up the good work, and thanks for the contact!

Please spread the word: it is impolite to post pictures and NOT to include an address for contact purposes. That's like expecting a service without having to pay for it. I have done a number of identifications for people who never respond to requests for contact information.

 
I'm confused
My contact information is and has been available. I don't know if you were posting that statement in general, but if you click on my name, my email address is there. In fact, I have been contacted by individuals several times in the past. Is there some other type of information you're referring to?
