Thorn bugs (Umbonia crassicornis) on my pink powderpuff tree this morning in Snell Shores area.
Thorn bugs are tropical treehoppers known for their remarkable ability to camouflage themselves as plant thorns to evade predators.
Very cool insect. Have never seen them before. Looks like we are on the northern edge of their territory.
