Buffalo-horned Treehopper
This might an earlier instar of Lubra spinicornis. The animal was 5mm in size, as long as high. It was sitting on our lemon tree where it looked like a dry lemon bud. The animal is quite special because its horns that resemble that of a water buffalo that are located high above its body on a single podestal. It looks like the animal is wearing a moustage from the front. In the middle on the back there is a considerable hump pointing backwards. Maybe some other morph is actually one of the many tri-horned animals we can see on the internet. Unfortunately, it was quite windy and the animal kept crawling out of my picture.
