Blue-green Sharpshooter
Graphocephala atropunctata
Graphocephala atropunctata, commonly known as the blue-green sharpshooter, is a hemipteran bug native to the United States west coast, as well as Arizona and New Mexico. It carries the phytopathogenic bacteria Xylella fastidiosa which infects the xylem of grape vines causing die-back – known as Pierce's disease. This leads to loss of productivity and economic damage to the California vineyards.
