I think planthoppers are very handsome ❤️
An illustration of a green planthopper. It is a bright green bug that resembles a small veined leaf and has bright pink eyes. It is illustrated on a pale blue background.

Metcalfa planthoppers get unfairly maligned because they feed on Citrus. Citrus is not native to North America, but the planthoppers are, so it sounds to me like they are politely controlling the spread of an introduced species 🤔

planthoppers, treehoppers, and leafhoppers, however, showed up long after the first plants, trees, and leaves, therefore making their names completely valid

Two planthoppers have positioned themselves to look like little leaves. Very easy to miss.

*Fun fact* despite the resting grump face, most #planthoppers are actually great fun to party with!

Issid planthoppers are perfect.
Greyish brown nugget-y planthopper with stripy eyes, facing you on a fuzzy green leaf Side view of the creature, which is so very stubby and about as wide as it is long

Pretty Planthopper Pair, Costa Rica

(Family Nogodinidae, I think) 🐙🌿 #insects
A macro photo of a mating pair of planthoppers on a green stem, with green out of focus leaves in the background. The planthoppers are pale orange, with flat, oval wings, mostly clear and divided into many cells like a stained glass window.

Obviously there's other silly bunny planthoppers which would also be allowed in #InverteFest, like Sikaiana harti:

Piglet bug, if needed 🖤

They're just tiny derpy planthoppers with a little pig snoot, what more do you need in a bug

This makes me incredibly proud 😎 thanks @inaturalist.bsky.social
iNaturalist identification page for a photograph of my metal planthopper sculpture saying “You likely observed a species in this group: Genus Thanatodictya, 81.9% Confidence” with pictures of real planthoppers that look like the sculpture

Fennec Fulgoroidea 🤍

(Not its real name. It's Mula resonans, a rare creature and one of my favorite local planthoppers which rests with its wings like a fennec fox's giant ears)
Ghostly pale white and pink-tinged planthopper with stained-glass-window wings spread like fennec fox or bunny ears.
