Description
This planthopper (Rhyncomitra microrhina) appeared in a field bordering a hardwood forest in Durham, North Carolina, on August 3, 2015. These insects hide on lower leaves of plants and blend in well with them, so that they are usually discovered after capture by people doing surveys of insect species in a particular area with nets. This individual, however, remained undisturbed.
