Wax-tailed leaf hopper is a small insect belonging to the Cicadellidae family, often found in tropical and subtropical regions. It is known for its distinctive waxy secretion that covers its body, providing camouflage and protection from predators. The wax-like covering is made of waxy filaments, which the insect produces to coat its body. This camouflage helps it blend in with its surroundings, such as leaves or branches, making it harder for predators to spot.
