Bothrogonia addita | July 11 2025 | Buket Alue Puteh, Aceh, Indonesia |

Hey everyone, did you know about this little species I'm sharing today? Is it familiar or unfamiliar to you?
yeah that's right, this is Bothrogonia addita one of the small insects that maybe not many people know, this species belongs to the cicadellidae family or in our city they are popularly known as "leafhoppers", I found this small and tiny species when I was exploring in the forest near my house, usually they are easy to find in the rainy season, but I feel lucky because I was able to find them in very hot weather like now, this is a beautiful gem hidden behind the dense forest near my house.
The characteristics of Bothrogonia addita can be seen from its bright body color (actually they have many color variations, but the one I found this time has an orange color) and is equipped with a distinctive pattern on its wings, the body shape of Bothrogonia addita is rather elongated with distinctive wings that cover all parts of their bodies like a roof, even though their size is small and their body color is amazing, but don't be mistaken, they are one of the sucking insects, which means Bothrogonia addita looks for food by sucking liquids from plants and for this reason in our country Bothrogonia addita is considered a pest.
