A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife

Coelidia olitoria
Seen at Mason Farm Biological Preserve.
Submitted this to BugGuide where I was told it is a plant or leaf hopper nymph. It was in turn submitted for expert ID. The photos are not that great but it is an interesting nymph.

Thanks, Jason. Yes, I am - nice to have another spotter from NC here!
Great pics, Maria! Are you in NC? I work at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh!
Thanks, Sergio. I will check her spottings later! :>)
I think Karen spotted one like this once, I remember those "racing stripes" in its head.
