Molted to adulthood last night (above; probably slightly teneral in pic). I neglected to post it here when it was still a juvenile but it looked like this.
The Deukmejian hoppers turned out to be a mix of Dictyobia (seemingly the regular semivitrea-looking sort, though perhaps a different cryptic species I suspect) and Dyctidea (apparently D. intermedia, though my specimen is weirdly brown so maybe not) by the way. Getting to and from Deuk is kind of a drive but I'll probably release them soon too.
I'm definitely planning to try my hand at dictys and dyctys again next year tho. Maybe even this summer, if my plants can lush up fast enough when Dictyssa adults make their summer appearance.
