description |
A distinctively colored species. Males are yellowish, with the face, head, legs, and pronotum yellow; there is fuscous speckled across the pronotum and scutellum. In some dark individuals, almost the entire body is blackish brown. The wings are dark brown with a large pale spot near the apex of the wings, along the costa, and a smaller pale spot on the inner margin of the wings, in the middle. Females are greenish-yellow, with some fuscous spotting on the pronotum and scutellum. The hind leg can be bluish-green, contrasting with the yellowish front legs. The wings are not as dark as those of the male but have a similar pattern. Adult males are 3.8-4.4 mm long, while females are 4.2-4.7 mm. (Hamilton 1983) For more images of this species, see: BG.
Nymphs are greenish, flecked with fuscous spots all over the body, with a short head that sometimes has a transverse row of four black spots across the face. (Hamilton 1983) |
