The days race by, and now it is autumn. I snatch a few minutes away from a long slough of desk work to amble down Piney Woods Church Road. I take a few shots of some brilliant red sassafras leaves, and a mother cow licking her calf. Early on my journey, I encounter another planthopper on a roadside weed — this time, the Citrus Flatid Planthopper, Metcalfa pruinosa. In my imagination, he (or she) glances furtively and suspiciously at the photographer as he takes this picture.
