Phromnia rosea - adult head
Specimen, but the first adult of the species.
I've seen the nymph of this species in the wild a few times, but never the adult. Interestingly, it seems in both life stages they group together to mimic a flower blossom. This is a 7:1 focus stack.
''Phromnia rosea'', the flower-spike bug or the flatid leaf bug, is a species of planthopper in the family Flatidae. It is found in dry, tropical forests in Madagascar, and the adult insects are gregarious, the groups orienting themselves in such a way that they resemble a flower spike.
