- When I saw this leafhopper with outspread wings, I thought he was a small moth. So I approached him, it closed his wings immediately. I had lot of work to make the second picture, I approached and it closed wings, I get away, and it opened wings. I approached and it closed wings, I get away, and it opened wings. I approached and it closed wings, I get away, and it opened wings. The question is: why this leafhopper wanted to keep their wings open? To me, it makes sense that he wanted to look like a red moth with white polka dots. My suggestion is as follows: We are in the middle of summer, days of intensely hot temperatures. This leafhopper found that, keeping open wings, decreases the thermal sensation in your small body. :D Omg, I'm a genius.
Cicadellidae, Cicadellinae, Cicadellini, Erythrogonia sp. and looks like being Erythrogonia dubia or Erythrogonia dottaga.
