Froghopper/ Spittle bug

Cosmoscarta bispecularis

Description:

2 cm head to end. Belongs to suborder Auchenorrhyncha (the one with cicadas and treehoppers). Gregarious.

Habitat:

Western Himalayas.

Notes:

I found them on branches of rhododendrons in the forest. They flew away with a humming noise when the branch was moved. I couldn't find a picture with similar patterns on web. Help!
