Owl bug

Stony Stratford, Bucks.

Tongue in cheek of course, but ya gotta admit it does look like.... and if nothing else it's an interesting view of the underside of a froghopper (is it?).

Help with id appreciated as always.

Any other angles? Well, it is from the Aphrophoridae family of Froghoppers, but I couldn't say for sure - maybe Philaenus spumarius?

Take care,

Jason

Thanks Jason.

No other angles I'm afraid. This individual remained very still so I took the opportunity to take a few detailed shots of the underside. I'm pretty sure you're right with P. spumarius as it's very common along this particular fence.

It pretty much look like Philaenus spumarius.

Wow fantastic shot..Looks like something out of Dr Who..

The face pattern is better for Aphrohora, so this is likely to be A. alni

Thanks for your input Vincent .

Thanks Kayleigh - it does look very sci-fi doesn't it .

Thanks Tristan, your suggested id ties in nicely with this earlier posting of mine (same fence):
