Acanalonia servillei

Most planthoppers are about the same size, and are seen as lovely pastel green and measure about 1/4 inch long. The tiny insects have red eyes and are covered by a thick, fluffy, white, waxy secretion. These secretions are used to form the nest. Nymphs are wide and flat. They jump 12 to 18 inches when disturbed. Acanalonia servilles (above) is the most common planthopper in this area. The egg is Vienna-sausage shaped with a tiny curly projection. Immature acanalonids are peculiar, gray insects that have wide thoraces and very small abdomens.
