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'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't a moth, but I still wouldn't have known what it was else.<br />

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 6 years ago
