Treehoppers like this one are sometimes said to mimic thorns. If so, it would have to be a dull thorn, and it doesn’t do it much good hanging out on a leaf. More often though, you’ll find them hanging out together on branches.
Group of treehoppers
I’d venture this is a member of the tribe Aconophorini.
Thanks for the tip, Ted.
Hey! I’m very close to identify this one. Its a Guayaquila or a Aconophora (both genera). If i confirm it’s a Aconophora, for sure it’s a A. flavipes.
Tem bastante lá no Parque do Sabiá!
Muito obrigado, Eduardo!
