Flatid Planthopper

Unidentified Flatinae

Description:

I am pretty sure that the Flatid Planthopper shown here belongs to the Subfamily: Flatinae because Wikipedia provides the following description: There are two sub-families within the family [Flatidae] In the subfamily Flatinae, the body of adults is flattened laterally and the tegmina are tent-like. In the Flatoidinae, the body is not laterally compressed and the tegmina are not as tent-like and sometimes held horizontally. The wing venation is distinctive in that the veins in the anal region are nodose, and the costal area has numerous cross veins.

Habitat:

This Flatid Planthopper was spotted on a Papaya Plant (Carica papaya) in our front yard in the late afternoon sunshine.
