Delphax pulchellus

This was caught in my garden moth trap. A very distinctive species (at least in its macropterous form as here). Although it presumably flew to the trap, once potted for examination and photography it seemed to be extremely reluctant to fly, preferring to run, as readily sideways and backwards as forwards.
