Is this Philaenus spumarius or are there other similar species?
Taken in open woodland in the New Forest

Afternoon Si,
There are a few. How big was it, roughly? Size helps, a dorsal would be good.
Take care, Jason  |

Hi Jason.
It was about 6mm long & thats the only shot I could get of it. |

Thanks - the size fits the range of P. spumarius as opposed to a couple of others I thought about. |

It's almost certainly P. spumarius, but this colour form is similar to Neophilaenus campestris - I'd like a top view to be sure. | | |
