Genus: Amphisalta Cingulata
Size: 2.5cm
Notes: Feeds on the sap of plants and its loud song can be heard throughout the plantation forest. It lays its eggs in the tissues of trees and shrubs and they hatch in the summer. Nymphs fall from the branches and burrow into the ground to feed on the sap of roots. When the nymphs are mature, they climb the tree and split along the back and emerge as winged adults.
