    1. Well yes, I figured it' be good to document that even if it's a very mediocre image of it. They're just about on any Rhododendron so it shouldn't be too hard to get better images next season :o) Posted 6 years ago

"Graphocephala fennahi" is a species of leafhopper native to the United States. Its common name derives from it feeding on the sap of rhododendrons. The species was introduced to Great Britain in the 1930s and continental Europe in the 1970s. There has been suggestion that the rhododendron leafhopper contributes to the spread of a rhododendron fungus through Europe.
