Planthopper, Derbid (Apache degeerii)

Reveler Conservation Area

These planthoppers fascinate me! They look so improbable. Look at that face... it seems to have an almost maniacal grin pasted on! I find these most often on the undersides of oak leaves, though have found them on other trees too.

Very odd looking insect, but then, so many are. Very nice detail as always, Christine. Vote.

That is a pretty interesting looking insect, and he seems to have his eye on you. Super closeup, Christine. V.

I agree with Tom, he seems to enjoy eating his leaf. LOL V

That is one strange grin - marvelous that you could capture it.

He seems to enjoy his leaf chewing very much! A fine shot, Christine. V

It kind of looks like it has teeth too. It is very strange. Great detail. V.
