Oh, I have hundreds of Empoasca, likely vitis in my garden around a wild Silver Birch sapling - so many in fact I've obviously got used to them... and alas not many photos to see if I have decipiens in with them too

Good idea about a population field - adults, nymphs, etc. How do you think I could go about quantifying this in the table?
