@poppyrays submitted: Found this little man last July up in the Boise ID foothills and I still really like his little Rhino horn and the quality of my phone photo, hot damn. I even managed to get his little straw mouth on the side and he just genially let me fiddle around with him before putting him back.
What a snoot!! Such a friendly little lad, I love them. Looks like a type of planthopper in the genus Scolops :)

OMG How many photos do you take of something that Will. Not. Stay. Still before you give up. 20? 30? Eventually I gave up and tried to pick the little jerk up and took this one last shot (ok, last 4 shots) and this was the best I could do. Turned out to be a Dictyopharid planthopper, Scolops angustatus. Very cool little planthopper, too bad he apparently knows it ;-).

OMG, look at the giant schnoz on this hopper nymph!!!
(This is some species of Scolops, a Dictyopharid planthopper.)
