Horned Treehopper

Centrotus cornutus (horned treehopper) is a species of 'treehoppers' belonging to the family Membracidae. The adults reach 7–10 millimetres of length, while females are slightly larger. The basic coloration of the stocky body is dark-brown. The large protruding eyes are round and reddish-brown to red-colored. The pronotum is hairy, arched up and pulled back in a long, wave-shaped extension above the wings, with two sharp, ear-shaped lateral protrusions (hence the Latin name cornutus, meaning 'horned'). The legs are very short. The front wings are pale brown and translucent, with evident brown veins.
