Spotting

Speechless at nature's ingenuity.

wow

It is beautiful, NuwanChathuranga, hope you get an ID for that gorgeous creature. Thanks for sharing.

So cool!

This is something else! Initially, I imagined it to be a kill being transported by a team of ants.

Thanks bayucca, Mark, Nacho for id help!
Thanks Carly, Jellis!

Yes, Mark, forgot the Delphacidae. Looking at one from a family you think OK, but comparing with the next one NO...

Beautiful

'Delphacidae?'

Extraordinary spotting, Nuwan!! I checked some planthopper and could not find any clue for separating the several families. It is probably easier to kick of than include ;-)...
Fulgoromorpha, Fulgoroidea. Not Fulgoridae, not Ricaniidae, not Nogodinidae. Tropiduchidae? Derbidae? Dictyopharidae? Cixiidae? Lophophidae?

Sorry, cannot help more...

I'm dying! This is just TOO cool!

Thanks guys!
@bayucca, i have couple more pics but only from this angle :(
@Nacho, i don't think so! if it's dead it might have fallen from the leaf, because the place is so windy. however didn't saw it moving either!

seems dead , the legs are bent .. no ?

but it is beautiful and amazing!
Congratulations !

The mimicry on the wings is just amazing!

Any other picture??

Pretty bug!

Whoa!!! spotting of the day for sure! at least in my list! ;)

I am spellbound to behold such puzzling beauties of nature.
Truly awesome! :):)

Yes!

Wow! Amazing!
