Strange Hopper

in #hive-1819642 months ago

I found this interesting insect when I observed a plant during one of my recent photo walks. at first, I didn't notice its existence on the plant, because my eyes were locked on the other insect, which I might post on another day. But then on the second glance, I notice this weird looking insect blends so nicely and almost perfectly with the color of the plant leaves.

It is apparently one of the leaf hoppers, or specifically the Cicadella viridis, the green leafhopper, is a species belonging to the subfamily Cicadellinae of the family Cicadellidae.. it looks like a cicada, but also at the same time resembles a frog.

The green body blended so nicely with the surrounding leaf, but the yellow color on its eyes and on its bad gave way to its camouflage a little bit. overall it is such a lovely insect, and when I photograph it, it was quite tame and calm, not moved much even when I tried to twist the leaf it was resting on.

Good job spotting him. He was definitely in full camouflage mode.

very easy to miss this one, if you just pass by the plant it resting on.
How things doing over there my friend?

Wow!!
This insect is very common in my surrounding.
Even the little creature had a great IQ by staying on the green fern fronds to avoid been spotted, by you didn't fall, lol.
Thanks for sharing friend.

Really? that is nice if you have a lot of them around you. I have to find them in the abandon field behind my parent's house, and I could only find it one. !LOLZ
Happy that you like my work my friend.

Did you hear about the cat who ate a ball of yarn?
She had mittens.
