In my cocoa plantation, I also managed to find a very unique insect, this insect has a small size and its shape looks like it is wrapped in wings, at first I thought this was a grasshopper because its shape is a bit similar to a grasshopper, but after I searched for information about this insect on Google, I just realized that this is a saliva louse, I don't know whether this insect is dangerous to humans or not, but if you look at its shape and nature, it is most likely that this insect is safe. In my plantation, I can find lots of these insects flying around but I don't know whether this insect is also a plant pest or not, what is certain is that this insect looks very unique with its unique shape and color.

This insect is so small that it is very difficult to photograph it,photographing this insect using a macro lens is the right choice, so the resulting image is also visible.
Okay everyone, here are some pictures of this unique insect here.
