Tina, I'm the type who survives at the end the disaster films. Thanks, Adarsha. :)
Tiz

Miss, the first image is the way it was when I find it. Then he moved when I touched the branch. Risks, I go to the thicket, without any protection. So I have to stay alert about where I step, where I backrest. Once a scorpion that was on top of a tree fell on my head. :)
Tiz
The second picture is great! And I agree with the previous writers, I am amazed that you even saw that one :)

I am trying to do the same. Trying to keep my little eyes wide open :-)
Sckel

If I passed by, I would never notice this one ;-) Good find.

Lauren, I think the intention was to stay unnoticed. But I was there; Hahah. I found this planthopper in a tree guava. Lonely and motionless beside the sprouts the leaves. Has about 6 -7mm.
