Edwardsiana prunicola
A small yellowish leafhopper associated with various tree species, including Prunus. Identification of Edwardsiana species is very difficult; to identify this species, dissection of the male and examination of internal male genitalia is needed.
Noting the host plant for the Edwardsiana can support identification.
