  • Ormenoides venusta

    Ormenoides venusta is a flatid planthopper native to North America. This species is univoltine, with first instar nymphs emerging in May. It has been documented feeding on paw paw (Asimina triloba) leaves. Nymphs produce conspicuous white waxy secretions that cover their bodies, while adults develop a powdery wax coating in shades of grey, green, or blue.
