Had our first treehopper station at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute's Batnight! Lots of fun telling people about these amazing insects!!

Due to bad luck I couldn’t personally hand my gift to Rebecca Sugar at MagFest: a thank you letter and treehopper versions of her Lonely Magic Angels. I did get to give a Becky Brewster bug to a rep from Exit 73, so there’s that.

I ended up making a lot of Christmas cards this year, mostly featuring my little bug friends.

Gênero Bolbonota, família dos Soldadinhos
Custei a entender do que se tratava. Eles, com essas cores escuras e cheio de sulcos, me fizeram pensar que eram sementes de mamão 🤣

A Flat-headed leafhopper (Ledromorpha planirostris) - masters of camouflage, these flat-bodied hoppers can be found on certain species of smooth-skinned gum trees.
A Flat-headed leafhopper (Ledromorpha planirostris) - masters of camouflage, these flat-bodied hoppers often develop markings that match the particular tree they live on.
A leafhopper of the Stenocotini tribe (genus stenocotis sp). They like to nestle in the dimples of smooth-skinned gum trees.

Some of the neighbourhood locals - if you're a fellow Australian why not pop outside this evening, find the nearest smooth-skinned gum tree and see if you can find some tiny friends #leafhoppers #treehoppers #planthoppers #BugSky #macroaddicts #australianinsects

Data figures showing that hotter developmental temperatures reduce juvenile survival but affect adult sperm transfer and enhance fertility in treehoppers
Stress early in life can carry-over to affect adult fitness, but how “carryover effects” shape resilience to climate change is poorly understood. We combined years of experiments in #treehoppers showing that even though hotter temps are more lethal for juveniles, they're better for adult fertility

I’ll be at the Tuxedo Park Renaissance Faire today, and I made a bunch of treehoppers stickers to hand out. Maybe we’ll run into each other!

The round, swooping curves; the little spikey bits; the way you can draw them with any wild, random shape, color, or pattern. It all guarantees that they come out different every time. It’s gives me the good brain juice, as they say.

Treehoppers are 1/2 inch-big insects that camouflage themselves by mimicking surrounding flora and fauna. This gives them an incredible diverse range of shapes and colors.
I like to reimagine them as little bug knights.

"Linking treehopper shapes to aspects of their electrical ecology, like specific predators which approach from certain angles with particular static charges, this would support our ideas around static electricity as an evolutionary driver."

Beautiful #treehoppers (Umbonia crassicornis or thorn bugs) in our garden in Panama! 😍 With a body length of ~1cm one of the biggest species around!

New trivia and recommendation for the week. I love Jen Wang’s work. I hope she decides to one day return to Strings of Fate.

New week, new trivia. Do YOU know the answer?
Also treehoppers are really fascinating little things and you should go look them up.

A detailed macro photograph of a treehopper, likely in the genus Ophiderma, perched on a pale greenish-brown leaf. The insect has a strongly domed body with a glossy, textured pronotum that extends backward to cover the wings, a hallmark of many treehoppers. The pronotum is mostly dark with speckles and a cream-colored band near the rear, giving it a camouflage-like appearance. Its forewings are intricately veined and slightly translucent, with hints of green and black. The insect’s legs are spiny and reddish-brown, gripping the edge of the leaf. Its large red eyes are prominent, and fine hairs are visible on its head and thorax. The background is a vibrant green, smoothly blurred to emphasize the treehopper's detail.
Likely an Ophiderma sp. Treehoppers like this can be identified by their extended pronotum, which sweeps back over the body. In some species, it becomes ornate, mimicking thorns or plant parts for camouflage.
