| | | | Rhododendron leafhopper | | The Rhododendron leafhopper (Graphocephala fennahi; synonym Graphocephala coccinea) is a species of cicadas in the order Hemiptera, the suborder Auchenorrhyncha, the infraorder Cicadomorpha, the superfamily Membracoidea, the family leafhoppers (Cicadellidae), the subfamily Cicadellinae and the genus Graphocephala. The Rhododendron leafhopper is the only species of the genus Graphocephala in Europe. | | |
| | | | Adult Graphocephala fennahi reach body lengths of 8 - 9 mm. Their bodies are bright green, orange and dark-purple in colour. The legs, abdomen and head are yellow. | | |
| | | | While the adults feed on the juices of various plants, such as ivy, linden, and maple, the larvae live exclusively from the juice of rhododendron. This species came from America to Europe with the introduction of rhododendron, and has been common in Europe since the 30s. | | |
