Cercopis Sanguinolenta
''Cercopis sanguinolenta'' is a species of cicadas in the family Cercopidae. Distribution and habitat This species mainly occurs in southern Europe up to Caucasus and the Near East. These froghoppers inhabit dry, sunny slopes and herbaceous rich clearings. Description ''Cercopis sanguinolenta'' can reach a length of . The male is larger than the female. These froghopper are shining black with bright red marks on the elytra, one spot at the base, one spot in the middle and a stripe at the apex. Bodies in dorsal view are elongated and ovoid. The head is much narrower than the pronotum. Legs are always completely black. Very rarely, red marks are reduced or even missing, and such specimens are almost completely black. The adults of ''Cercopis'', just after getting free from the nymphal exuvia, show pink or whitish markings instead of blood-red. This species is very similar to ''Cercopis vulnerata'', but its red stripes are smaller and the rear stripe is only slightly curved, whi ...

Johan Christian Fabricius
Johan Christian Fabricius (7 January 1745 – 3 March 1808) was a Danish zoologist, specialising in "Insecta", which at that time included all arthropods: insects, arachnids, crustaceans and others. He was a student of Carl Linnaeus, and is considered one of the most important entomologists of the 18th century, having named nearly 10,000 species of animals, and established the basis for the modern insect classification. Biography Johan Christian Fabricius was born on 7 January 1745 at Tønder in the Duchy of Schleswig, where his father was a doctor. He studied at the gymnasium at Altona and entered the University of Copenhagen in 1762. Later the same year he travelled together with his friend and relative Johan Zoëga to Uppsala, where he studied under Carl Linnaeus for two years. On his return, he started work on his , which was finally published in 1775. Throughout this time, he remained dependent on subsidies from his father, who worked as a consultant at Frederiks Hospita ...

Froghopper
The froghoppers, or the superfamily Cercopoidea, are a group of hemipteran insects in the suborder Auchenorrhyncha. Adults are capable of jumping many times their height and length, giving the group their common name, but they are best known for their plant-sucking nymphs which encase themselves in foam in springtime. Taxonomy Traditionally, most of this superfamily was considered a single family, the Cercopidae, but this family has been split into three families for many years now: the Aphrophoridae, Cercopidae, and Clastopteridae. More recently, the family Epipygidae has been removed from the Aphrophoridae. Spittlebug nymphs These families are best known for the nymphal stage, which produces a cover of foamed-up plant sap visually resembling saliva; the nymphs are therefore commonly known as spittlebugs and their foam as cuckoo spit, frog spit, or snake spit. This characteristic spittle production is associated with the unusual trait of xylem feeding. Whereas most insec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
