| | | Small dark planthopper ID?
Hi,
There are lots of these on broom plants in the garden. Very dark both as adults and nymphs, adult size 2-3mm long. 
Any thoughts welcome

Hi Steve,
I had a blue one which was identified as family Delphacidae Javesella dubia male, it was adult at 2mm! It looks much like yours and they can vary in colour.

Yep, that's dubia alright - lovely shot, and just the right angle! |

Thanks both,
I'd been looking on British Bugs and thought it was Delphacidae and even thought that one of the Javesella sp. looked similar but not quite right ( J. discolor I think it was) but I didn't see J. dubia.
I remember your post Janet, wasn't that the bug that came from Neptune?

That's because I haven't quite got around to doing the page yet, Steve! 
There are a lot of photos of Javesella species that are trickier to pin down than yours, but those pages are pretty high on my list of the next ones to do - I think I've finally got my head around them a little bit... They're a lovely bunch of hoppers, anyhow.

Wasn't meant to sound critical Joe, I really appreciate the site and all the work that must have gone into it already.
Regards

No worries, Steve - I'm just feeling guilty at having had decent IDs for weeks and not having done it yet! |

Steve | No it was from Pluto, lol, much colder there as was the day! Blue Bug nymph from Pluto
We do appreciate your efforts Joe, what would we do without such a valuable resource! For free!   Do you have pics for this one? Mine are not the best but...
