Hey Cindy. Thanks. :)
Great spotting, Harsha!
WOW!!!
Are you sure it's an adult?! Two spottings and unidentified. Thanks.
Harsha, I was referring to the wings. This spotting is an adult plant hopper and not a nymph. Anyway, there are only 2 spottings like this one. Congratulations.
Thanks Uday and Jolly. Jolly you want a reaction?! I want it to be the only one of its kind. Haha! But have have seen similar pictures on Google search. And one on Noah too. See. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/819...
Most nymphs does not possess wings. Only adults do. Any reaction? Nice spotting.
cartoon like eyes..
nice series
Thanks Ashish.
Wondeful pictures Harsha... Thanks for sharing.... really precious...
I have added improved pictures to this spotting.
Thanks Yasser and Ashish. I will try to find it again and get better pictures.
I think this is one of few lone spottings on Project Noah...
Fascinating. I wonder if we can pinpoint it down to species. Very cool looking planthopper!
You seem to be right Ashish. :)
May be Derbid Planthopper which have white Eyes and such long clear wings.
This is not a scale insect. My scale insect is here. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/121...
