Rhododendron leafhopper

Graphocephala fennahi

Description:

one of the sharpshooter leafhoppers - this one found on rhododendrons primarily. The name comes from their habit of shooting fluid out the back end... captured in the next to last photo

Notes:

I was thinking when I posted this years that they were greener than the ones I spotted in 2015... only to find I never posted these

Thank you! I check the rhodies when I visit my mom and if they're there, I whip out the camera and macro!

Good photos! These leafhoppers are now established in Germany as well.
