A wild tamarind tree in Palmetto Bay Park, FL.semi infested with thorn hoppers. The small ones are their young with the three horns instead of two. If they continue growing in numbers they could kill the tree. Pretty bizarre looking insects. Maybe Spielberg could use them.

  • They are really quite rare here but you're right, the park is gonna have to keep an eye on that tree or it will be history.

  • @jofly17 no problem..

  • Those are some weird bugs, and the clusters of young ones sure spells trouble... Makes me glad I don't have to deal with them...
