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 ...
Enchenopa is a genus of treehoppers in the family Membracidae. There are more than 50 described species in Enchenopa. [1] [2] [3] The genus underwent a major revision 2014, resulting in 51 species. Enchenopa binotata is a species complex made up of multiple species, often identified by their host plants. [1]
These "treehoppers" are polyphagous, feeding on plant juices, which they take with their specially built, piercing-sucking mouth parts. The larvae mainly live on Cirsium , Carduus and Urtica species, while the adult insects prefer Populus , Quercus and Rubus species. [ 3 ]

In most Cladonota species, the male is smaller than the female, often with a less developed pronotum and darker colors. More drastic sexual dimorphism can also be present, with completely different pronotum shapes between male and female, which has often lead to the misidentification of males and females as constituting separate species.
Cladonota apicalis is a species of treehopper within the family Membracidae. [1] [2] The species is found distributed in Mexico, Central America, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, Venezuela, and Brazil. Individuals typically reach lengths of 6 to 9 millimeters. [3] [4] The species name was likely given after the white mark on the dorsal posterior surface ...
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 ...
