Surprised Hopper, Pt. 2 - _TNY_6352
Late October is a pretty poor month for bugs on the Stockholm, Sweden area, but after visiting my mother's summer house to change tires before winter comes, I had some luck with a couple of interesting spiders which got my spirits a little higher.
This was probably what made me stop at the Hemmesta sjöäng wetland on my way back in the hopes of finding more bugs to shoot.
Turns out I was right as I found two species of leafhoppers which both were new to me. This one, which is is called Tremulicerus tremulae and can look quite differently as shown here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/50895287302/
This one was a somewhat closely related species, but it wasn't possible to make a conclusive ID based on just my photos. It can be found here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/53287529563/
A behind the scenes phone camera shot of this one next to my finger for scale here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/53487782635/
