Description

Andy Hamilton says Ceresa lutea is "the common eastern 'hornless' species with dark legs", & confirms the ID on this specimen. On Bracken Fern in pine barrens understory. Seriously camouflaged -- apparently this sp. feeds on lots of other plants, but it sure looks perfectly designed to resemble one of the fern leaflets!
