    Notice: re-identifying this to Phromnia rosea. I believe I incorrectly created the record Flatida coccinea years ago, but it should be Phromnia rosea instead. Posted 4 years ago

The Madagascan Flatid Leaf-Bug

''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.
