Treehoppers (Publilia) Newly emerged adult, adults, and ants

This is an interesting episode. The white treehopper is a newly emerged adult treehopper. You can see one ant probing it. Just below it, is its shed skin being dragged away by ants. To the right on the leaf is a cluster of dark, mature, adult treehoppers/
