• Ormenaria rufifascia

  Palm Flatid Planthopper

  Ormenaria rufifascia is a flatid planthopper commonly found on palms in Florida and parts of the Caribbean. Adults and nymphs are visually conspicuous. Dense populations produce honeydew, which can lead to extensive sooty mold growth on host plants, causing aesthetic damage even though the insect is usually not a serious pest.
