Green Conehead Planthopper
Acanalonia conica
A small, bright green planthopper often found on leaves, stems, and woody vegetation in eastern North America. It feeds by piercing plant tissue with its beaklike mouthparts and drinking sap, usually relying on stillness and leaflike color to avoid notice. When disturbed, it can spring away sharply and make short flights to nearby vegetation. Its pointed, cone-shaped head gives it a distinctive profile among green planthoppers.
