Athysanus argentarius (Silver Leafhopper) (Lower Vine Brook, 7/12/14 1pm, 8/10/14 11am, 6/23/2019 1pm) A European migrant.
Graphocephala coccinea (Scarlet & green leafhopper, Candy stripe leafhopper) (Lower Vine Brook, 6/28/11 7pm, Willard's Woods, 6/26/05 1pm) It looked like the larger one was secreting something from it's rear end. It was hard to tell what, but it looked like drops of liquid. However, no liquid was on the leaf under it.

Publilia concava (Lower Vine Brook, 8/30/08 1pm) It was hard to tell if the ants were receiving anything from these treehoppers, or if they just happened to be in the same area. It looks like ants can recieve honeydew from this species of treehopper, so perhaps the ants were defending them.

Ranatra fusca (Brown waterscorpion) (Willard's Woods, 4/18/02 1pm, 7/3/02 1pm, Lower Vine Brook, 8/2/15 5pm) I don't know why this guy was out of the water, but it provided a nice photo. I also saw a large water beetle jump out of the water and onto a grassy hump.
Limnoporus dissortis? (Water Strider) (Lower Vine Brook, 4/2/10 2pm)
Trepobates sp.? Or perhaps an immature Gerris sp. (Parker Meadow, 8/2/2014 4pm)

Neonecta irrorata (Backswimmer) (Lower Vine Brook, 4/20/12 2pm, 9/14/13 2pm, ) The bug in the second photo raised itself into this position for a few seconds and then flew off.
(Lower Vine Brook, 8/2/15 5pm)
(Lower Vine Brook, 9/14/13 2pm) It looks like a backswimmer... (dead?)
Shore Bug? (Whipple Hill, 4/9/11 2pm)

Sinea diadema (Spined assassin bug) (Lower Vine Brook, 9/23/12 1pm)
Zelus luridus nymph (Pale green assassin bug) (Lower Vine Brook, 9/9/2018 2pm) These are very common.
Leptoglossus occidentalis (Western Conifer Seed Bug) (Lexington, 3/12/13 9pm) I was shocked to discover that I didn't have a picture of one of these. I think I must have always thought, "Oh, I already have a photo." And so I never took one.

Cosmopepla bimaculata (Twice-stabbed Stink Bug) (Lower Vine Brook, 8/25/12 12pm, , 8/28/13 1pm) The first one is a lousy photo, but good enough to identify it, and it shows a different color variant.
