Enchenopa binotata is a species complex made up of multiple species, often identified by their host plants. [1]
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 ...
