Brown Leafhopper
Euscelis incisa
The adult is a small brown leafhopper of grassy places, meadows, and weedy field edges, often resting on stems with its wings held roof-like over the body. It feeds on plant sap using piercing-sucking mouthparts and escapes danger with rapid jumps followed by short flights. Its muted colour pattern helps it disappear among dry grasses and leaf litter. Like other leafhoppers, it has enlarged hind legs specialized for sudden, spring-loaded takeoff.
