[00:00:00]Perched on leaves in tropical forests is one of the strangest insects you'll ever see, the Bocydium globulare, a bizarre type of tree hopper. At first glance, it looks almost unreal with a cluster of tiny ball-like structures rising from its back [music] like something out of science fiction. But this strange crown isn't just for looks. It may help confuse predators or make the insect appear larger and more threatening than it really is. Despite its unusual appearance, Bocydium globulare is small and harmless, feeding on plant sap using its specialized mouthparts. Found in parts of South America, this insect is a perfect example of how creative [music] and unusual evolution can be.
