Costa Rican Membracid
Hey Bugfolks!
Thought you might enjoy a photo of an unusual treehopper found in Monteverde, Costa Rica. I know that it’s from the genus Cladonota, but the species name I have yet to figure out. Enjoy!
P.S. As an avid entomology enthusiast it’s always a pleasure seeing people provide realistic rational explanations with how to deal with "bugs". Phrases like, "Just pick them up and put them outside." are truely a breath of fresh air. Kudos, and many many thanks on behalf of the unsung heroes of bio-diversity. Sincerely,
Eli S. Wyman (manager of the Monteverde Butterfly Gardens)

Hi Eli,
Thanks for sending in your wonderful image of a crazy looking Costa Rican Treehopper. We also appreciate your comment on our “solution” for removing crickets from the house. Over the years, we have had 1000s upon 1000s of letters appear on our homepage, and we are daily changing them, removing old letters and replacing with new ones, but we cannot bring ourselves to remove that concise answer to a query from 2003.
