Broad-headed sharpshooter

Oncometopia orbona

Description:

6 mm long leafhopper

Habitat:

Semi rural.

Notes:

I was lucky enough to spot one of these guys at a local natural area recently http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/119.... I'm posting this one because it is the first of this species I have found in our backyard. This guy was very camera shy & played hide & seek with me for ages - it would hide behind the leaf & then hop straight back to the front when I turned the leaf over! Eventually we came to a truce & it let me take a side shot!
