Life Cycle of Wide-footed treehopper
Egg The egg of the wide-footed treehopper is typically small and discreet, often laid on the underside of leaves or within plant tissue. It's hard to see due to its size and camouflage.
Nymph Nymphs resemble miniature adults but lack fully developed wings and reproductive organs. They molt several times, growing larger with each stage and gradually developing wing pads.
Adult Emerging as adults, wide-footed treehoppers exhibit fully developed wings and functional reproductive organs. Their body is robust and pigmented, enabling flight and the fulfillment of their reproductive cycle.

Habitat Preferences of Wide-footed treehopper Through Different Life Stages
The eggs of wide-footed treehopper are typically laid on the underside of leaves or on stems of host plants, often preferred to be species of oak. As nymphs, they are found on the same plants, often congregating on the branches or stems where they feed on sap. Adult wide-footed treehopper, with their increased mobility, can be found on a broader range of vegetation but remain primarily on or near their host plants. To locate the different growth stages, one would search the foliage and branches of host plants, particularly inspecting the undersides of leaves for eggs, or the presence of nymphs on stems and branches.
Rectangle
When is the Best Time to Observe Wide-footed treehopper
The best time to find wide-footed treehopper is during daylight hours when they're most active and visible, especially during the warmer months when they go through most of their life cycle stages.
Rectangle
What is the Best Weather to Observe Wide-footed treehopper
Wide-footed treehopper is more likely to be visible and active during warm, dry weather. Excessive rain may cause them to take shelter and become harder to spot.

How and Where Can You Find Wide-footed treehopper at Different Life Stages
Egg Wide-footed treehopper eggs are typically laid in batches on the underside of leaves or in crevices in plant stems. To find them, examine the host plants closely for small clusters of eggs that may be covered by a protective substance.
Nymph Wide-footed treehopper nymphs are more mobile and can be found on the host plants they feed from. Look for them by observing the stems and leaves of plants for small, moving insects that resemble the adults but lack fully developed wings.
Adult Wide-footed treehopper adults are easier to spot due to their distinctive shape and behavior. They can often be found on the upper sides of leaves or on branches, usually feeding or engaging in mating behavior. Listening for the sounds they make or using a sweep net across foliage can aid in finding them.
