AKA The Mexican Treehopper
This treehopper looks more like an ant than the flying insect it is. Its costume, called a "helmet," grows out of its upper back.
Treehoppers are masters of disguise - they might look like a leaf, a thorn, a twig, or bark. Some, like this ant lookalike, deter predators by mimicking other dangerous creatures.
Native to Mexico, they are useful in the pollination of avocadoes!
"And when the supermercados sell avocados,
He's the one to praise!"
