Description:

Found in a wild bush, white, beige and brown with black and red markings? it did not matter what color they were, some had a red line in the middle of the body, it was odd that the brown with yellow were there also?

At least you can put Bolbonota sp. for the ID. No doubt that they are Treehoppers of that genus. Not much work has been done with these, they are so small and rarely seen.

Thank you, CindyBinghamKeiser.
I never thought they were hoppers! I am hoping for an ID... : )

Thank you, bayucca. I will place a spotting today.

These are adorable! Great hopper spotting :)

Thank you, Sergio Monteiro.

Thank You, stho002.
I should have known it was the adult, I found 2 adults, strange how those beautiful white hoppers will be so dark later!!
