Yay! Another new species for CA. Also, very nice to have an image of this hopper where it is not the featured lunch item of a hungry salticid.

Huh. And here Lenny was looking for flies to feed his spiders.
Didn't know we had such a delicacy on hand.

Stobaera tricarinata
This is the common species throughout most of the USA.

Thanks, Andy.
My sharp-eyed grandson Iszak spotted this one on a sign.

Looks kinda' similar...
...to this Delphacid hopper you had identified as Stobaera back in 2006:



Darker coloration overall though and especially on the head and thorax, so could very possibly be something entirely different. (I'd be surprised if it's not a Delphacid though...)

Posturing
In profile, these animals looked very different. (I did flash on the earlier post when making this one.) I believe you're right, as the previous critter was cited for Spotted Legs Indicative of Genus. Thanks once again for your quick mind and effective research, Harsi.
