This planthopper has no accepted common name. It has a pointed head, pinkish eyes, and long rounded green wings. Like other planthoppers, it usually moves slowly as not to attract attention from predators, and it has the color, shape and posture of a leaf. It was identified with the help of volunteer experts at BugGuide.

 

This planthopper has not been seen often in our nature centers.
