Aphrodes bicinctus Family: Cicadellidae The appearance of this leafhopper genus is quite distinctive, but there are a few quite similar species, and the patterning does vary. Note the distinctly pale rear wing veins, the lack of any broad pale bands across the forewings, and (in a microscope) fine granulation of the forewing cells. This species often has a pale transverse band each on the vertex and pronotum, but not always. It is common on grasses across Britain, with regional variations depending on precise habitat.        Adult: June to October Length 6-7 mm
