Plant Hopper

Well well, it seems that my head is still not working properly today, and I could not find any suitable narration for the photos that I have today, so expect nothing from this post other than the beauty of the insect that I managed to photograph.

Ok, the tiny insect that i have today is a planthopper, this little insect seems so docile at first as when you want to get a loser observe, it might not move that far, and didn't seems to bother much. But when you tried to take the photos, it will quickly fly away to the other branch. or hopping from one plant to the other as the name suggest. The other thing is that I hardly get the photo of this insect from the front to be able to get its head shot.

Don't mind the small ant that was photobombing at the foreground.

As I said that after three shots, the adult plant hopper decided to fly awaya to the other branch, and left me with this white substance that was clinging into the branch. I was amazed to know that there was something alive under that white substance. the funny thing was that the adult hopper decided to get into the frame once again after I decided to take the photo of the younger one. hmmm do you see the ant on the right hand corner?

Then another young hopepr decided to hop into my hand. Maybe because of its lack of experience that it mistook me for the plant. But hey at least I get more photo of this living white substnace isn't it?

Treehoppers always look at least a little bit surprised to me. Like they aren't really sure how they exsist.

I noticed the ant first before the planthopper, thought it was some kind of leaf at first. Amazing angle shots!
