Graphocephala fennahi (rhododendron leafhopper) is a species of leafhopper native to the United States. Its common name derives from it feeding on the sap of rhododendrons. The species was introduced to Great Britain in the 1930s and continental Europe in the 1970s. There has been suggestion that the rhododendron leafhopper contributes to the spread of a rhododendron fungus (Pycnostysanus azaleae) through Europe.

This is not intended to be a dry lexicon. Personal stories and sensitive articles form the framework for our pictures: „In my web“
I am Natalie, the cucumber green spider, and I live hidden in the coniferous forest. I hope that people will recognize the art of my webs and my true beauty.
