StephenSolomons I have changed the ID.. it looks more like a "Pink Planthopper" :)
Thanks StephenSolomons .. I will check it out.. :)
Christiane I think this is a Pink Planthopper rather than a Mango Planthopper. http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_planthoppers/PinkPlanthopper.htm
@ CindyBinghamKeiser.. Great.. I will add this one to your mission..
Hello, I started a mission that focuses on the hoppers. I'm hoping it will global rather than just the 300 mile radius of where I'm at. Regardless, I'd really appreciate you adding your hopper spotting(s). http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8096480 Thank you!
Very cool insect - excellent photos
That is so cool! And weird looking! Never seen anything like that before. Brilliant spotting. :)
@ Laurine Looks like a Mango Planthopper.. FUNNY NAME... Thanks!
Nice photo!!! Perhaps a Mango Planthopper (Colgaroides acuminata). http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_planthoppers/MangoPlanthopper.htm
Thanks.. alicelongmartin.. I love nature.. and not just the cute and cuddly!
