Portuguese Helmet Treehopper Nymph (Membracis dorsata) A Portuguese Helmet Treehopper nymph on the leaf of our pea tree. This particular day when I took this photo there were around forty of these nymphs on one branch but a photo was a bit difficult due to the scorching sun and heavy gusts of wind.
