Green coneheaded planthopper

The green coneheaded planthopper is polyphagous, feeding on a wide variety of native and cultivated trees, shrubs, herbaceous plants and grasses. However, populations are usually small and incapable of inflicting serious damage on their host plants. The species has only one generation each year.  Eggs are produced in late summer and early autumn. They are inserted into woody plant tissues, where they spend the winter. Nymphal stages are hump-backed, covered with long, white, waxy filaments and, like the adults, they produce a considerable amount of honeydew. Nymphs can be found feeding in assemblages of both Acanaloniidae and Flatidae.
