I just love when I can bring something here that triggers a good discussion. It is a real pleasure to follow the line of thought, I can almost hear the mind sprockets moving... Thank you guys, I'll keep stho002 and bayucca's suggestion, hoping to narrow it down to species in the future.
Great hunting for the id. It is a lovely bug too
Not more than the others before: Flatidae and looks close to Flatoidinae.
Fabulous Stephen. And it seems there is a cousin holidaying with Agnes in the Philippines. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/157...
Definitely Flatidae: Flatoidinae
Stay calm Gilma.. :-) my best guess.. Fulgoroidea, maybe nymphal Acanaloniidae... let's wake bayucca up now!
Sergio Monteiro, "We"...need an ID...now...I am dying of curiosity!!
Sergio, you've got to stop making stuff-up !!! ...
I need to know too now :-)
It's got those little face gadgets... um... antennal stapes? Cixiidae would look good too but no white fluffy ones at all. This derbid is at least white and fluffy... http://naturecloseups.com/wp-content/upl...
Mark, Derbidae was the first thing that came to my mind, but I couldn't find anyone that looks like this one!
It says "thank you", Gilma! :-) It is a "hopper", but not a membracidae. My guess is that is a planthopper, Superfamily Fulgoroidea, but I don't know the family.
Derbidae ?
Maybe if you undo that zipper down it's back... ? :-)
Fantastic creature you found, Sergio Monteiro.
Is it one of those odd hoppers?
