Widefooted Treehopper (Enchenopa latipes)

On Silphium asteriscus at a mixed forest edge/valley.

Okay, this is a bit bizarre...but this guy hasn't really moved since I first saw it a few days ago. Either that, or it keeps returning to the same place.

Two days seems like a long time, but they are pretty sedentary. Once they tap into a good sap source, they often stay put unless threatened. You should check it again in a couple days, if you can, just in case it's got a fungal infection or something interesting like that... Posted 4 years ago

    It would be unpleasant for the hopper, but so cool for you to find it sprouting fungus. Posted 4 years ago
