JuneBug: Celestial Flatid Planthopper Nymph (Fulgoroidea)
Bug of the Day
Is Ghost.
(Northern Flatid planthopper nymph, Flatormenis proxima)
In Africa, in Kenya, there's quite a beautiful flower. It's coral coloured with little green-tipped blossoms, rather like a hyacinth. If you reach out to touch it, you'd discover that the flower was not a flower at all, but a design made up of hundreds of tiny insects called Fattid [sic] bugs. They escape the eyes of hungry birds by living and dying in the shape of a flower.
