I caught an Oak Treehopper nymph emerging this morning. This one is part of the set that hatched on Sept 16-17, and is the 2nd of ~25 to reach adulthood. The rest shouldn't be too far behind. Mom is still watching over them. Platycotis vittata
Lugar: Medellín (Antioquia)-Colombia

This curious insect belongs to the group of treehoppers belonging to family Membracidae. It is also called thorn Mimic treehopper as it looks like a thorn. most treehoppers are considered as pest, but some like Leptocentrus taurus was found feeding on the noxious weed Parthenium hysterophorus in Chuadanga, Bangladesh, thus acting as potential biological control agents. I found this Leptocentrus species on a Smooth rattlepod (Crotalaria pallida)plant.
Found at Gotham Jack Pine Barrens SNA in south west-central Wisconsin. Richland County, Wisconsin, USA.
Maybe Smilia camelus?

buffalo treehopper (Stictocephala bisonia) - native to North America, lately it has became an invasive species in Europe
This cool treehopper isn't in the best light, but I'm still happy to have this stack, because I have been trying to photograph this species for five years, and this the first specimen that was cooperative enough to let me do it. They're normally very paranoid. I think it was feeling confident, because it was so perfectly camouflaged in the fold of this leaf.

While living in a small, one-bedroom garden unit, which was a part of a large home in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, one of the things I loved to do was walk throughout the one-acre property, which had a massive rubber tree, at least a half-dozen different species of banana trees, papaya trees, a cacao tree, lime trees, a plot of pineapple plants, and all manner of tropical flora. I found a plethora of amazing insects and spiders, including these Keeled Treehoppers! They fascinated me, as I had never seen anything like them before.
Unfortunately, they turned out to be an invasive species of sap-sucking insects, meaning they feed on the sugary fluids of the plants, and can spread to other plants. The owners of the property were not as thrilled as I was to see these insects and promptly cut the plants to the ground and burned them to destroy the insects.
