It had been suggested that the pronotal "helmet" could be serial homologues of insect wings, [4] but this interpretation has been refuted by several later studies (e.g., [5] [6]). Treehopper nymphs can be recognised by the tube-like ninth abdominal segment, through which the tenth and eleventh segments can be exerted in defence or to provide ...
The basic colouration of the stocky body is dark-brown. The large protruding eyes are round and reddish-brown to red. The pronotum is hairy, arched up and pulled back in a long, wave-shaped extension above the wings, with two sharp, ear-shaped lateral protrusions (hence the Latin name cornutus, meaning "horned"). The legs are very short.
Oecanthus nigricornis is a "common tree cricket" in the subfamily Oecanthinae ("tree crickets"). [1] [2] A common name for O. nigricornis is black-horned tree cricket. [3] It is found in North America. [2] Black-horned tree cricket bats away a hover fly with its antenna (replayed in slow speed). Later a cricket sings.
These minute insects, colloquially known as hoppers, are plant feeders that suck plant sap from grass, shrubs, or trees. Their hind legs are modified for jumping, and are covered with hairs that facilitate the spreading of a secretion over their bodies that acts as a water repellent and carrier of pheromones . [ 1 ]

Once full-grown, great horned owls’ inborn anatomy makes them exceptional hunters — with their sharp eyesight, strong hearing and the ability to soar up to 40 mph in near-silence, the land ...
A planthopper is any insect in the infraorder Fulgoromorpha, [1] in the suborder Auchenorrhyncha, [2] a group exceeding 12,500 described species worldwide. The name comes from their remarkable resemblance to leaves and other plants of their environment and that they often "hop" for quick transportation in a similar way to that of grasshoppers.
