psychedelicinsects: Derbid Planthoppers are easily recognizable by their googly eyes and their habit of holding up their oversized wings. These cute little creatures eat mosses and fungi and create a waxy substance that allows them to have a better grip on leaves. These insects are not only beautiful, but still quite mysterious, considering not much research has been done on them.
