Cercopis sanguinolenta

Lunga da 9,5 a 11 mm, questa piccola cicala si nutre della linfa di erbe e arbusti. Le larve, miscelando con l’aria un liquido escreto dall’ano producono una secrezione schiumosa spesso visibile sulle piante, che garantisce un ambiente umido e le protegge dai predatori, da cui il nome volgare di sputacchina. È monovoltina, ovvero compie una sola generazione annua.
Gli adulti dalla fine di aprile all’inizio di giugno fuoriescono dal terreno, dove hanno trascorso il periodo preimmaginale succhiando le radici di varie erbe.
Secondo una recente classificazione ha cambiato nome in Cercopis sanguinea.
Potrebbe anche trattarsi di Cercopis arcuata che è più rara e possiede macchie nere più lunghe.
Fatemi sapere che ne pensate

Hello Silvio,
Fine capture of C. sanguinolenta, one of several similar species of Cercopis. The red and black warning colours show up well against the green leaf in this sharp and well composed picture.

Nice vivid colors, outstanding detail of this tiny bug. The water drops add interest. Nice composition.

Colori chiari de Nizza, particolare eccezionale di questo insetto molto piccolo. Le gocce dell'acqua aggiungono l'interesse. Composizione de Nizza.

Bonjour,
Voilà un insecte bien coloré.
Bonne journée.

Hi Silvio.
I like your very nice close-up shot, its excellent colour palette and, especially, reflection of the black back of the bug. Impressive POV, perfect DOF and sharpness of the leaves and bug,. Soft lighting is very effective, cropping and composition very good too. My compliments and TFS.
Alexei.
