noun
auricled leafhopper; Ledra auditura
A specific species of leafhopper known for its ear-like projections. Primarily a biological term; not commonly encountered in daily conversation.
ミミズクは、その名の通り耳のような突起を持つ昆虫です。
The auricled leafhopper is an insect that, as its name suggests, has ear-like projections.
The name ミミズク likely comes from 耳 (mimi, ear) and 蝉 (semi, cicada), referring to the ear-like projections, though it is not a true cicada. The exact derivation is uncertain.
