Thorn Treehopper

I agree Kel, thank you!

Although lines, markings and wings can mess up a bit the disguise, this is the most beautiful of all treehoppers in shaped thorn. His imitation of thorns green is the most perfect, my opinion.

Thank you EnvUnlimited :)

Thank you Adarsha :) Treehoppers are astounding little creatures!

First pic seems very new angle to capture a tree hopper..Nice one Lauren :)

Thank you so much Ingrid, we also have a brown Treehopper on Goldenrod here, is it the same as yours?

Thank you Mark, I added this to the Parenting Mission :)

Thank you Bernadette, Sachindra and ceherzog :)

Great shots Lauren. There's a mission for insect parenting behaviours I think.

You got some great shots of these Lauren...way to go!

My brown species of thorn bugs are still active in a goldenrod meadow and are among the few that survived the late season onslaught of the baldfaced hornets, presumable packing in the food for the winter?

TOO COOL! what a great perspective, she looks so tough!

wow!

Great series, Lauren!

Thank you Sanjukta :) Love your pictures.

Great spotting!

Membracidae, Membracinae, Hoplophorionini, Umbonia sp. and most probably Umbonia crassicornis, female.
