Lantern Fly

Large Planthopper (Family Fulgoridae) of about 7cm from tip of the head to the tip of the abdomen; irregular colouration in shades of brown, yellow, orange, and black; the tiny white spots on the wings are very bright and conspicuous; the peanut-shaped protuberance on the head carries four distinct orange markings and eye spots, which are believed to make it resemble the head of a lizard or snake.
