Deftly adapted for life among foliage, palm flatid planthopper boasts a distinctive protective coloration that mirrors the verdant hues of its habitat. As a nymph, it feeds voraciously on plant sap, using piercing mouthparts to extract nutrients. With maturity, the adult develops a flair for mimicry, their wings resembling leaves not just in color but texture, enabling them to blend seamlessly with their arboreal surroundings. This remarkable camouflage serves as their primary defense against predators in the dense vegetation they call home.

The Siphanta acuta is commonly known by the name green Planthopper. This beautiful insect feeds on leaves. Its bright green wings with light colored veins along the dorsal side are mimicking a leaf. This pest has been known to eradicate large numbers of native trees in Hawaii as well as coffee and other cultivated crops.

Distinguished by its peculiar, wax-producing nymphs and vibrant adults, ormenoides venusta is a member of an order known for their piercing and sucking mouthparts. As juveniles, these creatures excrete a waxy substance forming ornamental tufts for defense. With metamorphosis, this species flaunts a striking iridescence, skimming across vegetation to feed on plant sap with precision, owing to its specialized proboscis.
