  Very interesting that they can identify the 'Flower Bugs' at nymph phase.
  There can be many possible different species of Hopper bugs that may look similar as nymphs. Posted 9 years ago

How very interesting, I wonder if the appearance has anything to do with looking like a Cordycep?

I've seen these on ants (when they get turned into zombies) - I know if I was a predator I wouldn't want to eat something that looked like it had cordycep spores on it. Posted 9 years ago

  Not sure if there is Cordyceps on them, could be.
  They are mostly all white in colour at nymph phase. Posted 9 years ago
