Erythroneura

Erythroneura
Amherstburg, Essex, Ontario, Canada
August 24, 2005
Size: approx 3-4mm
Here are some Erythroneura I photographed in my back yard. Most are Erythroneura comes and the last is E. vulnerata I believe but if anybody can confirm this that would be great. They were all found on wild grape. Click on the photo to see a larger version.

Cheers,

Russ

BTW Thanks Andy for IDing my last few photos.

The upper 6 are color varieties of E. comes, the grapevine leafhopper.

looks like a sushi menu...

 
Great look
Great look at the variation that is possible in a plant hopper species. How did you do this? Are these live or specimens? Is this a montage or a single photo? Nice work!

This is....
Hi Stephen,

Thanks for the kind words. This is a montage of different photographs. I made them all the same size and oriented them in a similar way so it looked a bit neater. These were alive. I caught a bunch and simply put them onto a large white piece of board, many flew away but some stayed just long enough for a photo. There were a couple of very interesting looking individuals that I missed, I'll try to get some more when I get a chance. I really enjoy these tiny little hoppers.

Cheers,

Russ

 
you crack me up
I never looked at it like that, but I guess it does. It's nice to compare them on this format though.

Cheers,

Russ

 
haha
haha, it does!

on a serious note it is alot easier to ID them like that!
