Description
Leafhopper. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a Bocydium globulare leafhopper. This insect has a ball-bearing appendage growing from the back of its 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.
