This camel treehopper is a cool little bug that lives on oak trees and probably prefers red oak leaves as that's where I found this one. Their pronounced pronotum is designed to resemble a bump or thorn on a tree branch so they can be hard to spot, especially since they're only about 6 mm long. Females lay their eggs into or on oak leaves and the nymphs and adults feed on oak leaf sap for their food source.

Hello there, stranger

I'm an earthling just like you

But different, too

It seems that every time I water my garden, I find a new and interesting insect to photograph. The other evening it was windy, so this Buffalo Treehopper was a challenge. It was clinging to a sunflower stem, and everything was swaying back and forth. I shot 81 frames and managed two or three that were both in focus and not blurred.

Buffalo Treehoppers are considered a pest; they slice into plants, lay their eggs inside the cut (or on the underside of a leaf), and after hatching their larvae will then feed on the plant, sometimes killing it. But I've only found two this summer - hardly an infestation. It's an organic garden. I usually allow all life forms to live out their cycle. And I never use pesticides. Personal choices...

One of the more colourful and bizarre-looking treehoppers.

This treehopper, Telamona projecta, doesn't have a common name. Currently (summer 2022), there are fewer than 50 records in iNaturalist and only a couple of photos on flickr. Nymphs have been found on Quercus alba (white oak) and the adults on several other oak species and wild grapevine. We have several very large white oaks by our house, so that may be how it came to appear in our yard.
