Moved
Moved from Diamondbacked Spittlebug. So much for using range information to narrow down the ID!

Moved
Moved from Free-living Hemipterans. I'm convinced. Somehow missed that one when browsing through spittlebugs.

Spittlebug yes....
....but I think this one is the "diamondback spittlebug."

Lepyronia angulifera
Shorter, with comparatively broader wings than L. quadrangularis.

Congratulations, you are the first to record this species anywhere between the lower Hudson Valley and Michigan!
