Treehopper on nymphal case (Enchenopa)

Fletcher Wildlife Garden

This thorn-like treehopper has just emerged into adult form from its nymphal case and is resting on the case. THere were a number of these little creatures in a thicket of nannyberry shrubs.

What a great find! It seems too big to have come from the case. Super capture. V.

Good to take a short rest before life's journey and leave its "suit"case behind.
