The flower-spike bug (Flatida rosea), also known as flatid leaf bug, is a species of planthopper in the family Flatidae. It is found in tropical dry forests in Madagascar. The adult insects are gregarious, the groups orienting themselves in such a way that they resemble a flower spike. he adults have wide pink wings which they hold vertically in a tent-like fashion, concealing the whole body. The nymphs have no wings, but can move about, and are defensively covered in wispy white wax, with a plume of waxy tendrils. Both adults and nymphs feed by piercing the bark with their mouthparts and sucking sap from the phloem.
