Flatid Planthopper Nymph

Found on the stems and leaves of various plants, including shrubs, trees, and garden crops.

Herbivorous; they pierce plant stems with their proboscis to suck out sap (phloem).

Nymphs are covered in white, waxy, hair-like filaments for protection; they are known for their ability to jump long distances when disturbed.

Generally harmless to humans; they can be minor garden pests by secreting honeydew that leads to sooty mold, but they do not pose a significant threat to healthy plants.
