Agree with Torben. We also have only one species, too cold for these creatures I guess.

Fantastic creature. We only have one of these species in Denmark, the Centrotus cornutus, but I have never seen it. V

Statuesque and funny at the same time, always a treat to see a treehopper!! V

Right on! He is a well named little dude. I think he would fit in well with any tree. ~V~
