:)    I just found this bug   crawling up my back.  Just cut grass, must have come from the lawn.  I:)  never seen one like this..:)  Thanks!:)  Harry:)  :)  It looks to be the Longhorned beetle Eburia quadrigeminata or Ivory marked beetle. on Non evergreens, can wind up in furniture or house trim, but probably not in your case.

Hi!It looks like a leafhopper, it's about 1/8 to 1/5 inches,wedge-shaped, it'spale green with white spots. if this is the case i would spray plants thatare near by with sevin, malathinon or methoxychlor, they will destroyplants. Good-luck!!Peppergirl

some sort of beetle, possibly even a weevil, but definitley not a leafhopper. I wouldnt spray a bunch of chemicals as the last poster recommended due to the fact that you found a single bug on your back.

In response to the last post, i said it looks like a leafhopper, only i hadone that looked like that, and i was told to spray to protect plants, wherethere's one, there could be more??? If it's a one off, then i do agree withthe other post for not spraying. Thanks!Peppergirl

Hi: Thanks! It sure does look like the Ivory Marked beetle.. I hope it's not eating the trees. Lot's of trees around here are hollow, although look live and well externally, and break in half during a heavy gust of wind, and turn up have about 90% if the inside missing.. Thanks for the info! Harry
