This is a very peculiar planthopper by the name of cladonota apicalis from the Family membracidae .The species are very ornamented and have strange body forms, sometimes resembling pieces of branches, leaves, dry fruits or seeds, lichens, bird droppings, etc. There are about 50 described species. Their biology is poorly known.They are masters of mimicry.
