Two-marked treehopper

Two-marked treehopper

Enchenopa binotata

A species of Enchenopa, Also known as A treehopper

The two-marked treehopper is distinguished by an enchanting courtship song, produced by the males, instrumental in attracting mates. Orchestrating this melody by vibrating plant stems, the performance is unique among other species sharing its habitat. Feeding primarily on sap, these creatures exert a surgical precision, tapping into the plant vasculature without fatally damaging their host. Their life cycle begins with eggs laid on twigs, developing into nymphs that undergo multiple molts before reaching maturity, a testament to their intricate life processes.

Habitat Preferences of Two-marked treehopper Through Different Life Stages
Eggs of two-marked treehopper are typically deposited on the twigs of host plants, often in clusters encrusted with a protective secretion. Nymphs, after emerging, can be found on the underside of leaves or on stems where they feed on plant sap, usually staying close to where they hatched. Adults generally populate the foliage of the same host plants, but are more mobile and might be spotted on adjacent vegetation. To find these stages, one would examine the twigs of specific trees for eggs, carefully inspect the undersides of leaves and stems for nymphs, and scan the canopy for adults, considering the time of year and the insect's lifecycle.

How and Where Can You Find Two-marked treehopper at Different Life Stages
Egg Two-marked treehopper eggs are often laid on the underside of host plant leaves or stems. Look for clusters of tiny, barrel-shaped eggs in these areas, exercising care not to disturb the eggs while inspecting.
Nymph Two-marked treehopper nymphs are typically found on the host plants where they were hatched. They can be identified by their smaller size and lack of wings. Look for them by inspecting the stems, leaves, and particularly the undersides of leaves of the host plants.
Adult Adult two-marked treehopper can typically be found on or near their host plants. They are noticeable by their protruding pronotum and can often be seen feeding or mating on leaves or stems. Quietly approach potential host plants and scan for adults, which may be observing their territories or in search of mates.

Agricultural Pests

The presence of two-marked treehopper on crops such as beans and woody plants results in damaged stems and leaves due to their fluid-sucking activity during the adult and nymph stages. While small numbers cause mild distress, severe infestations lead to significant yield loss. The stress inflicted on plants can indirectly affect humans through reduced agricultural output.
