I love Tree Hoppers but I am not an expert, I would say it looks very much like the spotting, If you are not right we have some very knowledgeable people here and they would let you know. Great job!!
Yes, Gilma, I wasn´t being able to find it but after you said tree hopper I think I could get the ID =). I think it is a thorn mimic tree hopper as specified, would you agree? Greetings to both.
