Hi Robert.
I think both your non-Diptera threads - Delphacidae.

I suggest rather Cicadellidae in both of my threads.
Here is a key for Cicadellidae.

For this one: Why not Aphrophoridae (that includes the spittle bugs)?

I am still inclined towards Cicadellidae. The head shape in Aphrophoridae is different. (Though Aphrophoridae and Cicadellidae are really closely related.)

Hi,
i have an information from insektenfotos.de.

"Rhytidodus decimusquartus, a member of Cicadellidae, Idiocerinae. I guess you collected it at light or in an evening room with open window. Lives on Populus nigra (including italica) and overwinters as adult. Zikade #1 is female, #2 is male.
Watch for Acericerus spp. in Gdansk, also in lit rooms during evening. None of the species is known so far north in Poland, but they all might occur. You can find a number of photographs in this forum.

Not cicadellidae = Jassidae for me! ?

?In this family, a line of long stiff silks on the edge of the tibia, it is not the case here! ?
?Like Paul Aphrophoridae or Cercopidae:)!
