Green Treehopper
Sextius virescens
The adult green treehopper inhabits leafy shrubs and trees, where it rests along stems and feeds on plant sap. It can jump quickly when disturbed and uses its wings to relocate between suitable plants. Its enlarged, helmet-like pronotum gives the insect its distinctive treehopper silhouette.
