Spissistilus festinus or Three Cornered Tree Hopper-4
When viewed from the front (A), adult Spissistilus festinus appears to have three corners, one at each “shoulder” and one at the apex of its pronotum—hence its common name, threecornered alfalfa hopper. From a ventral view (B), the female (left) and male (right) show a somewhat triangular form, as well. https://entomologytoday.org/2017/05/05/get-to-know-the-threecornered-alfalfa-hopper-a-maybe-serious-crop-pest/
