Unknown Leaf Beetle collected and , at Kenilworth Aquatic gardens. Nice shot showing the exposed flying wings under the wing coverings you would normally only see (elytra). Small about the size of a grain of rice. Photo by Sydney Price.

A leafhopper, or something related to a leafhopper, that happened to show up in our bycatch at the lab (Laurel, Maryland). Arrayed in such a lovely way, we were compelled to take its picture. I would love to have someone come in with leafhopper specimens, or hunt them on the refuge, so we could photograph fresh material.
