Flatid Bugs

Strutting their stuff along the woody stems of the forest habitat, are these charming Flatid bug nymphs, perky posteriors resembling the feathered bustles worn by cabaret dancers. Sociable insects, they form a white mass on their favourite pearch, climbing over each other with a rather jerky gait. Alert and constantly on the move, when disturbed, they rival both Olympic high and long jumpers, leaping distances many times their body length, onto surrounding foliage - and safety.
