Erasmoneura ID req. - Erasmoneura vulnerata
Houston, Harris County, Texas, USA
August 2, 2021
Nymph found with many adult leafhoppers that appeared to have the same pattern as this adult, although some were darker and some were lighter.

Reared on unknown plant (Vitis? See last photo).

Adult looks like BG images of Erasmoneura vulnerata, but the nymph's color is very different from that of another nymph already in the guide and ID'd as that species. Structure of both nymphs looks very similar, though.

A similar, earlier-instar nymph was on the same leaf and was the same color as this one.

Adult photographed 24-48 hours after emergence.
