| | | Bug on rotten log for ID please
Treswell Wood, Notts 15 May 2010
Found two of these bugs when turning a rotting log during a fungi foray with FungiJohn. The foray turned into a bug hunt on a pleasant summer's day   
There were two of these bugs seemingly keeping close company. They were approx 6 - 10mm in size, and they just wandered about on the log. I can't work out what the filaments are on its rear. Could they be fungal?
Any comments or suggestions appreciated. 
Les & John

Hi Nettlerunner
Possibly Ectobius, such as Tawny and Dusky Cockroach?It is obviously young.I can't say for sure though if it is, I'm not used to seeing them like that.
Cheers Jason.

Afternoon Les and John!
It's the nymph stage of a Delphacidae Leafhopper ( note distinctive antennae and waxy rear secretion - or whatever that is!).
Take care, Jason  |

Take care, Jason | Oh bummsy  ,yes it is definitely not Ectobius,I took a bit of the background to be a long antenna.Good photo,bad interpretation by me.
Cheers Jason |

Thanks guys.
We are beginers when it comes to the bugs, so never realised it was a nymph.
Cercopis vulnerata were in abundance on the site, but we did not see any other species of hoppers on the day. Perhaps next time
Appreciate your guidance,
Thanks
Les & John
