Field Notes

Description:

This one was in the wild side of the garden, the part of the garden where I let anything grow. They are all so gorgeous, I went back in my pictures and found some more I never place here in PN, this one is one of the many I have pictures of.

Hi Gilma, I saw this Treehopper and realized it is the same or very similar to one I found in Southern Chiapas in November of 2015. Also a long time ago! I don't think that this is Micrutalis, I think it is Acutalis, because of the color and the wing venation. See: https://www.flickr.com/photos/roboelman/14925706176/
