Acanaloniid Planthopper
A small bright green planthopper with broad leaf-shaped wings that provide excellent camouflage among foliage. Its rounded, tent-like wing profile is distinctive among North American planthoppers.
Did You Know?
Its bright green color so perfectly matches living leaves that it is nearly invisible when resting on foliage, often noticed only when it jumps away.
Hazel Leaf-Roller Weevil
A small red and black weevil that rolls hazel leaves into neat cigar-shaped tubes for its eggs. The rolled leaf provides food and shelter for larvae.
Did You Know?
The precision of its leaf-rolling technique has been studied by mathematicians for its geometric efficiency.
