Tremulicerus tremulae , also known as Small aspen Winkerzikade known, a leafhopper from the subfamily of Winker cicadas (Idiocerinae).

features

The cicadas are 5–6 mm long. A wide, dark, evenly wide band runs across the forewings. This is lined with two light-colored cross bars, which have white wing veins. This pattern makes it easy to distinguish Tremulicerus tremulae from other species of cicada. The face of the males is whitish, while in the females it is maroon in color. One or more white line drawings run lengthways across the pronotum .

Occurrence

The species is represented in large parts of Europe, mainly in Northern Europe and in the Alps. The species occurs locally in the British Isles and is limited to southern England and Wales.

Way of life

Tremulicerus tremulae can be found on aspens (quaking aspen), white and black poplars and birches ( betula ). The cicadas suckle on the leaves and stems of these trees. The adults of a generation fly from June / August until November. The cicada overwinters as an egg.
