Fulgora laternaria
The fulgorid insect ''Fulgora laternaria'' (often misspelled "lanternaria"), is a planthopper known by a large variety of common names including lantern fly, peanut bug, peanut-headed lanternfly, alligator bug, machaca, chicharra-machacuy, cocoposa (in Spanish) and jequitiranaboia (in the Amazon region and elsewhere in Brazil).
==Description==
''Fulgora laternaria'' can reach a length of , with a wingspan up to . This insect has a protuberance at its head as long as , looking like a peanut and showing false eyes to resemble that of a lizard or a serpent, and which was originally - and falsely - believed to be luminescent. When attacked it protects itself by displaying large, yellow, frightening fake eyes on its hind wings, releasing a nasty smelling substance and perhaps with its quite unusual head. Adults can be found from June to December. They feed on the sap of plants, mainly from some trees as ''Hymenaea courbaril'', ''Simarouba amara'' and ''Zanthoxylum'' species.
Several very similar species in the genus occur from Central to South America, and many museum and commercial specimens identified as ''laternaria'' are actually other species.
