Here’s a cute image for you: a cicada and its cousin, the leafhopper, in the same picture. If you look closely, you’ll see they look alike. Cicadas and leafhoppers belong to the same superfamily called Cicadoidea. Cicadas belong to the family Cicadidae, and leafhoppers belong to the family Cicadellidae.

that’s pretty interesting. I would love to get a shot like that.
Nice photo. You can see the resemblance between the two species. I didn’t know they were the same superfamily. I imagine the leafhoppers are quieter. Size difference is like a dog to an elephant.
