@idlidlidlidl There are actually two different leaf hoppers here. The ones on top of the stem are Eurymela distincta - and I will ID the sighting based on these. However, the one underneath is Eurymeloides pulchra

Thank you for the identification and confirmation.
Should I add the E. pulchra as separate entry? I do not wish to clutter the site with unnecessary entries and cause unwanted extra work.

@idlidlidlidl If you can separate out the E. pulchra, please do so. It is always worthwhile recording each species so it is not unwanted extra work. Regards Alison
