Thanks, Troy and David, for your nice comments.
This bizarre-looking treehopper was a first encounter for me. It's funny how just when we think we've seen everything that lurks in or neck of the woods, something entirely new and exciting always seems to pop up and we realize that we've barely scratched the surface.
This philosophy is what motivates us to venture afield ... to learn more and to see what new discoveries tomorrow might bring. #8716845

GREAT Image Bob! I cannot figure out if this is from the lizard family? #8740682

Thanks Amanda and Dianna.

Treehoppers (Membracidae) can be usually be found on the trunks and branches of their most preferred host trees or plants.

This tiny H. mexicana was a first encounter for me.
