Hi everyone, I have some wrong identification with this bug. I realy don't know that is called ladybird or plan hopper, it's around 3mm long. Anyone can help me to correct the ID. Thank you.

Planthopper in the family Issidae. I can not help you with the genus, but I have seen similar species with different markings in Japan.

Probably a species of Gergithus

I'd say a Hemisphaerius sp.

Thank Gabor, Tony and Black for the explantation. So this is planthopper in the family Issidae.
