The treehopper is a family of small insects best known for their grotesquely enlarged pronotum, a shield-like structure on their back that often mimics thorns or leaves for camouflage. These sap-sucking insects use specialized mouthparts to pierce plant stems and are often found in a mutualistic relationship with ants that consume the sugary honeydew they excrete. #insectsofinstagram #evolution #wildlife #worldwide #learnmore #educational #macrophotography #ecology #insects #natureisbeautiful #n
