On Sambucus canadensis (American elderberry) shrub July 7. - Oncometopia orbona
Dutchess County, New York, USA
Size: approx 3/4"
Sorry no top shot. It kept moving around the stem every time I tried to get above him.

Photographed in early evening, July 7, on stem of American elderberry (Sambucus canadensis).

Thanks!
Wow! Thanks! Wish that I'd been better at using the clickable guide. I'd figured some sort of leafhopper, but couldn't seem to go any further.

Would like to know the difference between spp, since there seems to be such high variability of color and pattern in the orbona.

Thanks so much. Now I need to find out more about who they are and where they fit.
