Cuerna on yellow flowers - Cuerna alpina
Rabbit Mountain Open S0pace, Boulder County, Colorado, USA
September 5, 2016
This Cuerna leafhopper was seen at Rabbit Mountain Open Space on the pleains at 5500' elevation. It differs from the usual C. alpina and C.striata we commonly see in the foothills. Hard to describe how. Legs look reddish. Venation looks different. It most resembles C. costalis. Any help with its ID is much appreciated.
