Most leafhoppers are tiny inconspicuous things, green or brown flecks living among the foliage. This Gyponana* is a comparative giant, at nearly a half inch, measured against the screen door grid.

* this is another one for the hive mind. Nana seems to mean small, I can't find any reason for gypo. There is another genus called ponana in the same subfamily--probably one derived from the other. There needs to be a field of taxonomic historic etymology to untangle all this.
