Green Leafhopper
Chlorotettix galbanatus
An adult green leafhopper is a small, bright green insect found among grasses, sedges, and broad-leaved plants where it feeds on plant sap. It moves with quick hops and short flights, often vanishing to the underside of a leaf when approached. Adults use fully developed wings to disperse between host plants and escape predators. Like other leafhoppers, it can transmit plant pathogens while feeding, making its tiny mouthparts ecologically important.
