- The bright green Buffalo
Treehopper Stictocephalus bisonia has a highly distinctive shape and it
is unlikely to be mistaken for any of the native European species of homopteran
treehopper bug. This American import was photographed in the South of France
where it has become a pest in orchards. Its introduction to Europe as a
presumed stowaway just over a century ago is a reminder of why better
biosecurity is required for imported plant products!
