Strange Suriname Hexapod
Stephen
I would love to know what this is. I can't say much except "immature insect"!

18 June 2014, Brokopondo district, Suriname, tropical forest.

I'd guess this is a nymph of Macroceratogonia (Homoptera, Cicadellidae)

Macroceratogoniini is an Old World group, it's something different...

Thank-you my friends! I thought the head looked like Cicadellidae, but those very long antennae seemed to me wrong for the group. I have now asked a Cicadellid specialist and will post his reply here.

Dmitry Dmitriev was kind enough to tell me that this is a 3rd or 4th instar in subfamily Gyponinae, but that it would be risky to try to take the ID further.

Thank-you Tony and Dmitry G., I was finding it hard to call this insect a Cicadellid because of those long antennae.

They say you can tell how big a puppy will get by the size of its paws. Maybe this leafhopper will gradually grow to match the size of its antennae!

Very interesting animal! I'm living in Suriname for over 8 years now, but I haven't seen anything like it yet. Please consider posting these photos also on the forum Guianas nature forum which I just opened.

Best regards, Scarabaeoid
