释义

Definition of treehopper in English:

treehopper

noun
  • A tree-dwelling jumping bug that lives chiefly in the tropics. A tall backward-curving projection of the thorax gives the bug a thornlike appearance for camouflage.

    Family Membracidae, suborder Homoptera: many species, including the bright green buffalo treehopper (Stictocephalus bisonia) of North America

    Example sentencesExamples
    • In the thornbug treehopper (Hemiptera: Membracidae: Umbonia crassicornis), females defend their aggregated offspring from predators.
    • Female egg guarding occurs in a wide variety of insects, including lace bugs, stink bugs, cockroaches, and treehoppers.
    • This indicated that treehoppers benefit from ants in ways other than receiving protection from predators.
    • Additionally, results suggested that treehoppers benefit from ant attendance in ways other than protection from predators; tended treehoppers outperform untended treehoppers even with predators excluded.
    • Many species of membracid treehoppers, especially in the tropics, have mutualistic relationships with honeydew-harvesting ants.
