An eight-member team completed this week's survey under sunny, cool conditions. Plant feeding insects in the family Membracidae, commonly called treehoppers, are distinguished by a dorsal crest. As the examples shown below illustrate, the crest shape varies from species to species, and frequently mimics a thorn or bud on a branch. Select Photos and Complete List of Sightings: Cyrtolobus sp.
