Biology Asked by Sristi on May 22, 2021
This insect was found in my garden in India on the evening of August 07, 2019. It’s rainy season here.
This is a treehopper (an insect in the family Membracidae).
As Arthur J Frost mentioned in his comment above, it will be difficult to ID this specimen more specifically given the angle, lack of further info, and my personal lack of knowledge of Indian fauna.
However, you can view an at-least similar looking species by viewing Oxyrachis tarandus, which is found in India (see here and Sharma & Pati (2011)1).
You can find photos of O. tarandus here, with one copied below for reference.
