Planthopper
Guides
Cedusa inflata
Cedusa inflata is a derbid planthopper in the family Derbidae. Its larvae develop exclusively in decaying palm tissue, a specialized habitat that directly determines where adults occur. Adults are found on living palms, specifically the same palm species where larval development took place.
