	Telamona Ampelopsidis ''Telamona ampelopsidis'', also known as the Virginia creeper treehopper, is one of the 38 species of treehopper in the genus ''Telamona''. Classification T. ampelopsidis contains 2 subspecies: * ''Telamona ampelopsidis ampelopsidis'' (Harris, 1841) * ''Telamona ampelopsidis tigrina'' Ball, 1931 Description Males are usually 8-9 millimetres while females are 10 millimetres. They have a brown-coloured pattern across the pronotum and they vary slightly; some can be almost black and some can be light brown. Distribution T. ampelopsidis is found in eastern United States and eastern Canada. It also can occasionally be found in central and midwestern United States, reaching as far as the Rocky Mountains. Diet Telamona ampelopsidis, like all treehoppers, feed on the sap from under leaves. However, T. ampelopsidis exclusively feeds on the Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia). The Virginia creeper used to placed in the genus Ampelopsis at the time that Thaddeus Willi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

picture info	Hemiptera Of North America Hemiptera (; ) is an order of insects, commonly called true bugs, comprising over 80,000 species within groups such as the cicadas, aphids, planthoppers, leafhoppers, assassin bugs, bed bugs, and shield bugs. They range in size from to around , and share a common arrangement of piercing-sucking mouthparts. The name "true bugs" is often limited to the suborder Heteroptera. Entomologists reserve the term ''bug'' for Hemiptera or Heteroptera,Gilbert Waldbauer. ''The Handy Bug Answer Book.'' Visible Ink, 1998p. 1. which does not include other arthropods or insects of other orders such as ants, bees, beetles, or butterflies. In some variations of English, all terrestrial arthropods (including non-insect arachnids, and myriapods) also fall under the colloquial understanding of ''bug''. Many insects with "bug" in their common name, especially in American English, belong to other orders; for example, the lovebug is a fly and the Maybug and ladybug are beetles. The term is also ...

picture info	Taxa Described In 1841 In biology, a taxon ( back-formation from '' taxonomy''; plural taxa) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit. Although neither is required, a taxon is usually known by a particular name and given a particular ranking, especially if and when it is accepted or becomes established. It is very common, however, for taxonomists to remain at odds over what belongs to a taxon and the criteria used for inclusion. If a taxon is given a formal scientific name, its use is then governed by one of the nomenclature codes specifying which scientific name is correct for a particular grouping. Initial attempts at classifying and ordering organisms (plants and animals) were set forth in Carl Linnaeus's system in ''Systema Naturae'', 10th edition (1758), as well as an unpublished work by Bernard and Antoine Laurent de Jussieu. The idea of a unit-based system of biological classification was first made widely available in 1805 in th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
