Wonderful world of insects - Leafhopper nymph parasited by Dryinid Wasp larva

ileana56 (60)in #nature • 6 years ago

In my post, I asked for help to identify an insect that I saw for the first time in my life.

I had headaches and I still have, trying to find out what it is. Someone told me it could be leafhopher nymph but I’m not sure this is the correct answer. It could be froghopper’s nymph, because I have seen many adults froghopper there.

The picture above is definitely a leafhopper nymph. It is about 4 mm long. It is known that leafhopper is the host insect for Drying Wasp eggs. You can see the wasp larvae on the back of this nymph. I'm not sure it is the same inect as in the picture below

Thank you for stopping by and for your support.
