LOU_5589 Planthopper Nymph

This planthopper nymph looks sort of like a rocket ship blasting off into the galaxy to go where no one has gone before!

The filaments are wax created by the digestion of the juices it feeds upon from the host plant's stems.

During it's last molt, the adult will emerge as an "Upright Winged" Planthopper.
