Insects that surprised me

 This is a nymph stage of an insect popularly known as "plant hopper".
If you give it a tickle it will jump onto another leaf. On the picture you see a colony, in the background is a singular exemplar.


So cute and so poisonous. The hair will burn your skin and it won't heal easily.

The deeper you go into the jungle the worse the bridges get :)
