Thanks, yes it is hard to find....
What a keen eye!!
WOW!
si si no fue fácil, y como decía , fue en el dosel....
Wow! es casi imposible de ver en la foto, q dificil debio ser haberlo visto en el arbol
Thanks Cindy, we are getting closer...with the ID.
Unfortunately, I have no side profile pictures.
I found this insect in the canopy (about 30 feet high) in a difficult position to photograph, I hope to see one more on another visit to that forest.
It looks very similar to the Flatfish hopper from Madagascar: http://www.flickr.com/photos/80125969@N0...
That is awesome, Jonathan!
Amazing find! Do you have a side profile pic? It may help with the ID.
Fantastic spot, Jonathan, congratulations.

Sharp eyed indeed. Nice spot Jonathan! Hope someone can ID it.
see the second picture, I draw the insect
You must have very good eyesight Jonathan - I can barely see it & I know it's there!
If somebody knows more about this insect, I post another pic, The eyes looks a little like a Treehopper of some kind.
