Hopping bug - Amycle vernalis

Hopping bug - Amycle vernalis
Austin, Travis County, Texas, USA
March 8, 2009
Size: 3/4"
The under wings have a distinctive red mark close to the head.

Moved

Amycle vernalis
A small Fulgoridae.

Seems to have a short upturned head
as in Scolops, . It's a tough angle, but we'll keep looking. Suppose it could be a Fulgorid such as Amycle, too, but at 3/4 inch, there shouldn't be too many options!
