Tiny perfect treehoppers. These studies were drawn from specimens in a beautiful piece by Fukui Keiki in Tokyo.

Animal of the Day!
Brazilian Treehopper (Bocydium globulare)
Tumblr media
(Photo in Public Domain)
Conservation Status- Unlisted
Habitat- Africa; Asia; North American; South America; Australia
Size (Weight/Length)- 6 mm
Diet- Sap
Cool Facts- No, those aren’t eyes. The Brazilian treehopper has a distinct protrusion sticking out of their thorax called a helmet. Scientists don’t fully understand why the insects grow these outgrowths, but it could be for a bizarre form of camouflage or dissuading predation. Despite being able to fly, the treehoppers only do so when startled. They prefer to crawl on the underside of leaves as they search for sap. Females lay their eggs directly inside the tissue of a leaf and after a few weeks a nymph emerges. After only a month of life, the Brazilian treehopper is ready to have offspring of their own.
Rating- 12/10 (Of the 3,270 treehopper species, this may be the weirdest.)
