Creosote Lace Bug
A tiny lace bug with delicate, ornately patterned wings found on creosote bushes. It feeds in groups on the underside of leaves.
Did You Know?
Its transparent, lace-like wing extensions may help camouflage it against the sunlit surface of leaves.
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.
