Oak treehoppers have my whole heart. These photos show the difference in size between mamas and their offspring at varying instars. I love them so much. 💛 Mamas stay with their babies throughout their development, protecting them from predators like wasps. Unusual behavior for a bug.
An adult female oak treehopper rests on branch facing many small brown treehopper nymphs. An adult female oak treehopper rests on branch facing a single small treehopper nymph. An adult female oak treehopper rests on branch facing a single black, white, and red treehopper nymph about half her size. An adult female oak treehopper rests on branch face-to-face with a large black, white, and red nymph nearly her length.

This tiny 5-6 millimetres Helicopter Treehopper is a plant sap consumer living in the Amazon rainforest of Brazil. Harmless to humans.

Arthropod Photo of the Week: January 22, 2025
Ant-mimicking treehopper
Cyphonia clavate
Hemiptera: Membracidae
By Tom Myers, Kentucky, USA
#arthropodPOTW
A treehopper insect perched on a slanted green plant stem. The treehopper has a dark black head and two bulbous outgrowths, also dark black, extending backward above its wings, giving the treehopper a passing resemblance to ant. However, the treehopper has large translucent wings folded backward over its green abdomen, below the ant-mimicking parts.

Oak treehoppers are out! Known for their endearing maternal care, mamas remain with their babies until they emerge as adults and eventually leave the oak branch where they were born.

A mother oak treehopper (left) stands next to her newly emerged adult children and a nymph on a branch. Two newly emerged oak treehopper adults stand face-to-face on a branch.

A weird looking treehopper from Costa Rica (Cladonota sp.)

A dark brown treehopper on a leaf. It has a large curved horn sprouting out of its head, and the ornamentation also goes along its back and sprouts up towards the tail end, so the entire insect looks horseshoe shaped.

I came across this mum watching over her clutch of eggs, as they were beginning to hatch! 🥹💚

If y’all thought mama oak treehopper with her little nymphs was cute, just look at mama with her young adult offspring. 😍 These brightly colored new adults darken a week or two after emerging to more closely resemble their mama. I like to think of this as their rebellious teenage stage.

The two insects sit on a branch against a brightly colored background.
