Treehopper
Treehoppers (more precisely typical treehoppers to distinguish them from the Aetalionidae) and thorn bugs are members of the family (biology), family Membracidae, a group of insects related to the cicadas and the leafhoppers. About 3,200 species of treehoppers in over 400 genera are known.Treehoppers.
Dr. Metcalf. NCSU Libraries. North Carolina State University.
They are found on all continents except Antarctica; only five species are known from Europe. Individual treehoppers usually live for only a few months.


Morphology

Treehoppers, due to their unusual appearance, have long interested naturalists. They are best known for their enlarged and ornate pronotum, expanded into often fantastic shapes that enhance their camouflage or mimicry, often resembling Thorns, spines, and prickles, plant th ...

Tylopelta Gibbera
''Tylopelta gibbera'' is a species of treehopper in the family Membracidae. This insect has a range which extends from Guatemala into the central United States, although it is occasionally found in Canada. Vibrational communication has been noted in this species, although there is discussion as to what exactly it is being used for. Life history ''Tylopelta gibbera'' are sap feeders, and can be found on a variety of foliage, including members of Fagaceae (particularly Quercus) and Fabaceae. Females deposit eggs into the stems of woody plants, covering them with a waxy secretion to protect them from predators. Once the nymphs hatch, they are defended by ants who consume the honeydew that they exude as a digestive byproduct. Vibrational communication ''Tylopelta gibbera'' have been observed using vibrational communication during mating displays. A male will produce a vibrational call that is transmitted through the stem of their host plant. This is done to elicit the response ...
