Oh, so this is a nymph! I wish to see how the adult looks like.
Thank you!

Hello, this is a nymph of a Hopper. I believe it's a Planthopper although I don't know for sure. The fancy "tail" are uric acid crystals.
It seems the map is a bit off so you may want to adjust it.
This would be a great addition to the Hoppers mission! You can see other amazing organisms similar to yours. http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8096...
