NORWICH: Some insects on Tamarisk

Late August 2022

I got a message from Vanna to say that whilst cutting the Tamarisk in their front garden she had noticed that there were quite a few tiny green bugs on it. These are a Tamarsik specialist, Tuponia brevirostris/hippophaes - two very similar bugs that require inspection of the rostrum length to separate. I popped round and managed to find both adult and nymphs, and as a bonus also saw some Tamarisk Leafhoppers, Opsius stactogalus.
