Cool hopper. I photographed one of these the last time you and I went hiking. Not sure what the species is, but you narrowed it down for me:)
Thank you Bayucca! I looked through all of your links, and I think the one that you have have listed with the ID suggestions is the one. Thank you for all of your work on this! I had no idea of where to start.
Cicadellidae, Aphrodinae, Aphrodes sp.. Obviously quite a tricky genus with most of the specimens only IDed down to genus leve. Please, verify!
