The moth trap continues to attract a few leafhoppers new for the garden list. Last night, a warm and breezy night, produced two new species:
Zygina flammigera and
Linnavuoriana sexmaculata (just rolls off the tongue doesn't it). At least, these are what I've identified them as using the BritishBugs website. There are several similar
Zygina species;
flammigera is the commonest and mine seems to have the necessary features to confirm the ID. It is found on a range of trees, whereas
L. sexmaculata occurs on sallows.
