Ant collection of honeydew thus allows treehoppers to feed more (the feeding facilitation hypothesis). [ 11 ] Eggs are laid by the female with her saw-like ovipositor in slits cut into the cambium or live tissue of stems, though some species lay eggs on top of leaves or stems.
S. diceros caught in the web of an Neoscona arabesca.. Stictocephala diceros, the two-horned treehopper, is a species of hemipteran insect within the family Membracidae. [1] The species range includes much of eastern North America, which includes southeastern Canada in areas adjacent the United States border and US state regions such as the Midwest, Northeast, Southeast, as well as some ...
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.
The Brazilian treehopper (Bocydium globulare) is a species of insect [1] belonging to the treehopper family (Membracidae). [2] It has unusual appendages on its thorax.

Herbivory is of extreme ecological importance and prevalence among insects.Perhaps one third (or 500,000) of all described species are herbivores. [4] Herbivorous insects are by far the most important animal pollinators, and constitute significant prey items for predatory animals, as well as acting as major parasites and predators of plants; parasitic species often induce the formation of galls.
