Heteronotus sp
bizarre spiky and striped treehopper looking like a small wasp
tropical rainforest
I spotted this in Madidi National Park. It was my first time seeing this species. I ended up seeing them twice but this was the best photo I could get out of those two times.

Thanks Lauren and Pradeep!
Thanks Daniele! Wow, there is a lot of really spectacular species.
Great spotting Dan! Some in the same genus seem to carry an ant rather than a wasp:
