Rhododendron Leafhopper

Rhododendron Leafhopper

Graphocephala fennahi

Graphocephala fennahi (rhododendron leafhopper) is a species of leafhopper native to the United States. Its common name derives from it feeding on the sap of rhododendrons. The species was introduced to Great Britain in the 1930s and continental Europe in the 1970s. They possibly contribute to the spread of the rhododendron fungus (Pycnostysanus azaleae) through Europe.
