I managed to find a very unique insect on a mango tree in front of my house, I am very familiar with this insect and in my area it is often called the tree hopper, and the uniqueness of this insect can be seen directly from its body shape. This planthopper has a size that is not too big and not too small, but try to look at its head then we will be able to see three horns that look very striking, the 2 main horns look like cow horns but this insect has one more horn in the middle and points back. In terms of color this insect looks ordinary but its unique shape is almost not owned by many other insects. This insect is also known to be quite tame because it often spends its time on trees, photographing it is an easy thing to do.

This insect looks incredibly intimidating, and one of its three horns' functions is to scare off other predators.
Okay everyone, now I'm going to share some pictures of this insect here.
