Bolbonota sp.
These tiny Treehoppers imitate Caterpillar droppings. They are only between 2 and 3 mm in length. This one might be Bolbonota pictipennis. The last picture is where I found it, in a group with 2 other species (another C-shaped Treehopper and a nymphal stink bug, all being attended by ants. The Bolbonota is the tiny black bump.
Heavy vegetation, km 11.5, Highway between Chiapa de Corzo and San Cristobal de Las Casas, 865 meters.
