The Planthoppers are an infraorder of insect, containing more than 12,500 species. They rely on cryptic camouflage to hide, masquerading as a leaf, bark or fungi. This particular species is one of the Lanternfly Family, named in part for his long snout, although he does not emit light. Instead, he uses it to pierce tree bark and obtain sap. Due to the nature of his diet, he can unwittingly spread diseases between plants and all Planthoppers act as a vector for plant disease.
