    I removed the ID because Acanalonia bivittata is a North American species, and the adults are green. Posted 3 years ago

      Your hopper might be in the family Issidae, but I'm not sure. Posted 3 years ago

        I've identified it as Thionia elliptica. What do you think? Posted 3 years ago

          I think the genus Thionia looks right, but T. elliptica seems to be a North American species. I can't seem to find a match at species-level. Plus, there are a few other similar genera in this family. Posted 3 years ago
