Thagria

Thagria (η‰‡εΆθ‰ε±ž).

In spite of their vivid appearance, I have not been able to discern the exact species.

In late June there were hundreds of these curious insects clustered together throughout the forests of Yuelu Mountain. They are not yet gone, but their numbers are fewer: the once crowded bushes now only expose several leafhoppers and soon it will be impossible to find any at all.
