Leafhopper is the common name for any species from the family Cicadellidae. These minute insects , colloquially known as hoppers , are plant feeders that suck plant sap from grass, shrubs, or trees.
The adults reach 4.5–6.5 millimetres (0.18–0.26 in) of length. This leafhopper shows a distinctive mosaic-like pattern on the forewings and an orange band between the eyes. Orientus ishidae is associated with willow (Salix species), hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) and with many woody plants and deciduous trees.
