Green Leafhopper
Cicadella viridis
The adult is a small bright-green leafhopper of damp grassland, marsh edges, and lush herbaceous vegetation. It feeds on plant sap with piercing-sucking mouthparts and can move quickly by jumping or making short flights between stems. Adults are alert and often slip around a blade of grass or launch away when approached. Males communicate mainly through plant-borne vibrations rather than loud airborne calls.
