Fulgoridae
Spotted in fruit orchard neighbouring a jungle reserve. Clear, pristine and unpolluted river stream nearby. Not fruit season. "Rudolph" was on a tree trunk by a trail - just chilling. We took multiple shots and he stayed there posing. Never seen in the area before. Local suggest that these at more common further up north in Belum, Perak. So, it was a rare find for us.
They are avid plant juice suckers, and are actually very peaceful species of plant-hoppers you can find on the tree trunks.
There are many different species to be found, with strikingly beautiful God-created design and variety of colors. Their unique characteristic is the elongated forehead or nose with colorful tips. But they are not lanterns and they don't produce lights as their common name suggests, unlike the fireflies.
