Ezra, please, update your ID! Thanks!
@Jellis and Eliane: Just FYI: If there is already the same ID as you would suggest, you might just add a "+" at the right side of the suggest field. You don't need to add all the details again. If there are 3 "+" the spotting is nor more notified as "unknown spotting". But you certainly are invited to add a comment for telling tht you agree with the suggested ID.
Nice spot! Welcome to Project Noah Ezra!
And I think it is Umbonia crassicornis.
Very cool & colorful Thorn Bugs, I think.
