    The leading lines of the leaf direct my eye to the leafhopper. Like the bits of yellow on its back and underside. Posted 3 years ago

The Blue-green Sharpshooter

"Graphocephala atropunctata" is a hemipteran bug endemic to California. It carries the phytopathogenic bacteria "Xylella fastidiosa" which infects the xylem of grape vines causing die-back – known as Pierce's disease. This leads to loss of productivity and economic damage to the California vineyards.
