This is quite large for a nymph and measured a little over 3/8" long. It was very hard to distiguish.
Tropical dry forest in NW Costa Rica 10 weeks into the rainy season.

Thanks jason! change made. Almost impossible to tell based on the camo!
Hi Larry,
Cool pic! This is definitely not a spittlebug, though. It's a planthopper (superfamily Fulgoroidea) nymph....maybe Cixiidae, but I can't tell for sure.
do you think this is a hopper nymph?
I didn't think Spittle Bugs excreted the uric acid like the hoppers do.
