Umbonia Spinosa

If you like picking up twigs or thorns out in the wild one day, you might end up disturbing this chap. The Umbonia Spinosa belongs to the Membracidae species found in South America, also referred to as treehoppers. However, there are an estimated 3,200 treehopper species distributed in all continents except for Antarctica.

Their dorsal fin is the most prominent feature they possess, which also earned them the nickname thorn bug. When it’s raining, several of these insects, collect together, and they might make an ordinary bush seem like it’s suddenly thorny. They have a relatively short lifespan living for just a couple of months.
