Loxocephala aeruginosa
Body length: about 16 mm.
Mixed forest consisting mainly of bamboo, cherry, pines, etc. Cool to warm place. Altitude: 1,700 m.
Interestingly this plant hopper walks backwards or sideways! Unfortunately the video clip refused to upload.
Thank you for the discription. I spotted this one today. I have a video clip as well of it walking backward.
It has been a long time. I'm happy to be active again! Thank you for adding this beauty to the mission.
Beautiful Planthopper! This would be a great spotting for The Hoppers mission at: https://www.projectnoah.org/missions/809...
Eurybrachidae, Eurybrachinae, Loxocephalini, Loxocephala aeruginosa. Nice one!
