A Planthopper (Family Delphacidae) in my backyard, June 2018. This individual doesn't have the fully functioning large wings normally associated with a Planthopper adult (similar to my discussion of nymphal Grasshoppers, yesterday), but it's actually an adult. Many species of Delphacidae have two forms of adult: one with short wings that can't fly (pictured here) and one that develops long wings and is capable of flight. Nymphs develop into the long-winged flying form in response to crowding, thus aiding the species' dispersal across a habitat. . . . . . . . #delphacidae #planthopper #norfolkcounty #polymorphism #brachypterous #gardenbugs #macrowildlife #macrophotography #insectphotography #insectsofinstagram #arthropodsofinstagram #gardeninsects #gardenwildlife #backyardbugs #norfolkwild #blognorfolk #simcoeontario (at Simcoe, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBD0odegG6M/?igshid=r57tjeyky1km

#2980 - Delphacid Planthopper

Small Fulgoromorphs with about 2000 known species. All of them are plant-feeders, often on grasses, and a few are serious vectors of plant disease.

As for exactly which one this is, I don't know. I've seen it at a few places around Baldivis, and in anatomy and markings it seems close to Pareuidella, but that genus seems restricted to North and Central America.

Baldivis, Perth, WA
