Description

What seems like a small seed (2mm) turns out to be a cute planthopper :) Taken at night in Singapore forest.

Quote from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planthop…

A planthopper is any insect in the infraorder Fulgoromorpha within the Hemiptera. The name comes from their remarkable resemblance to leaves and other plants of their environment and from the fact that they often "hop" for quick transportation in a similar way to that of grasshoppers. However, planthoppers generally walk very slowly so as not to attract attention. Distributed worldwide, all members of this group are plant-feeders, though surprisingly few are considered pests.
