Derbini Mysidia

Description:

This very tiny plant hopper, white but with clear extended wings, orange and yellow body, amazed me with the thickness of the body and the large eyes, I really thought it was a Moth!!??

I usually read former comments, but not always, take too much time ;-)...
I am on the road for vacations, meaning busy...

Oh, that was an easy one ;-), but unfortunately I cannot get closer than the family :-(. I am not familiar with these Derbidae.

Gilma, living in Costa Rica I am sure you are very, very far from having seen them all... I bet you'll still have many surprises ahead...

Thank you, StephenSolomons. Very surprised it is a Hopper!!

Thank you, Mark Ridgway, I thought it was a tiny moth because of the open wings, never saw it closing them!!

Lovely little hopper Gilma. Fully open wings would be unusual with ours.

Yes, CindyBinghamKeiser, just when I thought I saw them all I start finding this wing creature that turned out to be Hoppers too!?

They sure are!
