Froghopper and a Leafhopper for ID

[GrayB]

Hi Everyone,
After a three hour walk in our lovely summer storm force winds i managed to get one shot of this Froghopper that i don't think is the Common Froghopper.




And i also got a few shots of what i hope is a Leafhopper but this is one i've never come across before. I did get a side on view but due to the wind my focus was off and so was the hopper but i'll post it if it will help with the ID.















Cheers.
Gray.

Hi Gray,
It's not called the master of disguise for nothing... P. spumarius it is, but you're getting a good set of the variants now!

The other is the lovely Evacanthus interruptus - not easily confused with anything else!

Thanks Joe,
Well that shut me up How many variants does P. spumarius have and what governs a particular variant? Habitat?
I agree with your thoughts on Evacanthus interruptus, it is very striking and also very hard to lose sight of after its jumped.
Cheers Joe.

Um... can I delete my last reply, please? Just realised I should have spent more than a couple of seconds looking at it, at which point I'd have spotted the shape of the scutellum is wrong. This is not, in fact, a froghopper at all - it's another master of disguise, in the form of the leafhopper Aphrodes bicinctus, in a particularly nondescript colouring. Sorry about that!

Evacanthus is still unmistakable, though!

Glad you spotted it because i would never of thought that was a leafhopper.
Cheers.
