Leafhopper Newsletter

Adult emergence continues in Mendocino and Lake Co. - July 13

MENDOCINO COUNTY

Adult populations continue to increase, although 2nd - 3rd instar (stage) nymphs of the second brood are present as well, so we are beginning to see overlapping leafhopper generations.

LAKE COUNTY

Adult populations continue to increase and a majority of the remaining nymphs are 5th instar (stage). As in Mendocino County, we are also seeing 1st-3rd instar nymphs of the second brood, which indicates overlapping leafhopper generations.

PARASITOID RELEASE PROGRAM

A batch of Anagrus daanei, the parasitoid that controls VCLH, was released on July 8 in Mendocino County near Talmage.
