Horned leafhopper It has taken me a long time to identify this leafhopper. For long I thought it was a moth so I checked moth pictures but couldn&#039;t find something alike there. Till on a compilation photo of leafhoppers I saw the matching image. Looking back I could have seen earlier that it wasn&#039;t a moth, but I still wouldn&#039;t have known what it was else.<br /> <br /> Dutch name: Oorcicade (Ledra aurita) Austria,Geotagged,Ledra aurita Click/tap to enlarge Promoted

    I can totally understand the struggle. I don't think I ever have seen anything remotely similar to this before. Excellent addition to our familie of species, 2255 in total now :) Promoted. Posted 7 years ago
