A tiny knight perched on a leaf. The horned silhouette of a treehopper looks like a living thorn. Fun fact: Treehoppers from the family Membracidae have horn-like shapes that help them mimic thorns and hide from predators. #Veinbug #Treehopper #Membracidae #MacroWorld #TinyCreatures #HiddenNature

The Brazilian Treehopper looks like something straight out of science fiction, but it’s a real insect found in South America.

Enchophyllum treehoppers, caught in the process of molting. The adult is initially very pale and will turn black with two spots in a matter of hours!

Back to France (I wish!!), I was really pleased to see one of my favourite treehoppers, Stictocephala bisonia! Alas, I only got this shot before it pinged off into the oblivion, and I didn't manage to find another...! #Membracidae #Hemiptera #Treehopper #France

Been seeing a lot of these Three-Cornered Alfalfa Hoppers[?] (S. festinus[?]) recently and they are just precious. 🥰

Such a good-shaped creature.

What a great looking insect! A Horned leafhopper. Great colouring & it can jump! Would like to put it next to a frog and see who can jump furthest. Will put an add up by the pond to see if any volunteers come forth! #treehopper #garden

A photograph of a grayish green mottled treehopper from the side. The treehopper looks almost like a sallet, a medieval helmet. The treehopper's legs, head and upper body are a grayish mottled green, the exposed wings are clear with a brown patch at the tips.

A photo of the treehopper from above, the treehopper's head is wide with blunt little spikes just behind it, the upper wings then taper to a point.

Nugget.

A #Treehopper possibly in genus Heliria (Low confidence in that ID)

A macro photo taken low and to the front of a bright green leaf-shaped tree hopper. The hopper has pale brown/orange legs, bright red eyes, and the wings and body are bright green with paler venation.

We interrupt this week's moth content for a #BugBreak. This is the #treehopper, Acanalonia servillei 😁

A photo of the side of a green treehopper. The treehopper has a rounded rectangular leaf-like shape. It is pale green and its body is covered with a lighter colored vein-like pattern which further adds to its leaf-like appearance, the only interruption to this is its eyes which are dark red.

A photo of the front of a mottled gray/green treehopper. The treehopper has a conical upper body that almost looks like some sort of pointy hat from this angle. Its roundly inverted triangular head is just under this feature, it's round shiny eyes at the sides of the triangle. Its legs are spread out on each side.

A photo of the treehopper from the side. From this angle the upper body (Elytra?) looks almost like the late medieval Sallet helmets, the clear wings can be seen just under it.

Happy #Friday everyone, have a goblin 😂
I believe this is the treehopper, Heliria cornutula
