Male E. binotata 'Ptelea' treehopper from an Illinois population signaling at 24 °C E. binotata male signal that contains 2 signals in 1 bout with 2 pulses each. Male E. binotata treehoppers make substrate-borne vibrations on the stems, petioles, and leaves of their host plants that travel throughout the plant.
Nymphs of the treehopper Publilia concava have higher survivorship in the presence of ants even when predators are absent. This is suspected to be because uncollected honeydew leads to the growth of sooty mould, which may hinder excretion by treehoppers and photosynthesis by their host plants. Ant collection of honeydew thus allows treehoppers ...

Telamona ampelopsidis, like all treehoppers, feeds on the sap from under leaves. However, T. ampelopsidis exclusively feeds on the Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia). The Virginia creeper was once placed in the genus Ampelopsis at the time that Thaddeus William Harris described the species in 1841, hence the species epithet ...
