Ledra aurita ....
...
This is a rare leafhopper in Nottinghamshire and described as being local across southern parts of the UK. It is found on the algae/lichen covered bark of old trees, where it is perfectly camouflaged. It is a rarely encountered species, and we were lucky to have this one attracted to an MV light at Sherwood Forest CP in August 2010.
