Description
Leafhopper. Three-dimensional reconstruction of a ball-bearing appendage from a Bocydium globulare leafhopper. This is located on the back of the insect's thorax. The appendage, which is present in both sexes is thought to deter predators or to help camouflage the insect. B. globulare is found in South American forests.
