The bindweed glass-winged cicada ( Hyalesthes obsoletus ) is a species of cicada of the family of glass-winged cicadas (Cixiidae).

Host plants

Its main host plants in Germany are the bindweed ( Concolvulus arvensis ) and the nettles ( Urtica dioica ). These host specificity varies regionally, so make, for example in southern France lavender ( Lavandula angustifoli ) and Israel chaste tree ( Vitex agnus-castus , the main host plant is). It is a carrier of the yellowing disease blackwood disease in grapevines and stolbur-phytoplasma on tomatoes and potatoes.

distribution and habitat

The wind-winged cicada occurs in southern Central Europe , the Mediterranean region , southern Russia , Kazakhstan and Asia Minor . In Germany , the species has so far been proven in the following federal states: Baden-Württemberg , Rhineland-Palatinate , Bavaria and Saxony-Anhalt . The green leaf cicada loves warmth, whereby the microclimate (i.e. exposed locations, little shade of the host plant) has a high influence on the probability of occurrence. It lives on fallow land and ruderal biotopes, imperfections on dry grass, mostly on skeletal or loose soils.
