On arrowwood, Viburnum dentatum - Oecanthus niveus - Female
Briar Bush Nature Center, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, USA

So slender and long legged! One antenna is longer than the body, the other seems mutilated. It is interesting how the veins pattern on the wings imitates that of the leaf.

This is a female
Wings of the female 'hug' the body; wings of the male are paddle-shaped and lie flat atop the abdomen.

Yes, your photo really does a great job of showing how the vein patterns of females match veins in leaves!
