Widefooted Treehopper (Enchenopa latipes)

Fletcher Wildlife Garden

Found on a stem of Queen Anne's lace. These tiny treehoppers are mostly associated with goldenrods, of which there was an abundance a few feet away. This is another in the family with the long thorn-like projection that is really an extension of the pro-thorax. The eyes are down near stem level on the left side under the "thorn"!

Hoppers are the neatest looking bugs! I've not had much success photographing hoppers because their size makes it though to get a good shot. You've done well with this one!
