    after a period of 23 days the nymph open up their skin and transform into feathered tree hopper.Ants help nymphs at this stage.

    A jumping spider was also observed preying on a nymph.it pounced on it and got hold of the nymph.However a very interesting feature was observed when an ant attacked the spider and saved the nymph.Unfortunately i could not capture this phenomenon.
