Phytophaga is a clade of beetles within the infraorder Cucujiformia consisting of the superfamilies Chrysomeloidea and Curculionoidea that are distinctive in the plant-feeding habit combined with the tarsi being pseudotetramerous or cryptopentamerous, where the fourth tarsal segment is typically greatly reduced or hidden by the third tarsal segment.
These types of ant-insect interactions involve the ant providing some service in exchange for nutrients in the form of honeydew, a sugary fluid excreted by many phytophagous insects. . [5] Interactions between honeydew-producing insects and ants is often called trophobiosis , a term which merges notions of trophic relationships with symbioses ...

It is generally believed that phytoecdysteroid exert a negative effect on pests. Indeed, phytoecdysteroids sprayed onto plants have been shown to reduce the infestation of nematodes and insects. [1] However, in very limited scenarios, phytoecdysteroids may end up becoming beneficial for the insect.
