They look like they evolved to give a mobile house to a web weaving spider. I wouldn't be surprised if some spiders actually had symbiotic relations with one of these weird species.
@Ben B Artist A tasty target for a bird that can now eat the fat spider instead of eating the tree hopper. Of course, that does mean it's more of a parasitic symbiosis, the tree hopper being the parasite in this case :P.

The Treehopper: hehe I look like a shriveled leaf bit, no one will notice me Humans: hey look is that a horseshoe
I've recently become acquainted with fecal shield larvae of some beetle. These ones carry it internally. Found on Datura metel foliage. Great lakes area.
Ranks up there with the Tully monster! I wonder if their adult shape is completely different morphology than its earlier life stages - like frogs, butterflies and so on?
They don't have larvae, they hatch from eggs with the same external body plan as an adult minus the wings and mating appendages. This is true of all planthoppers, treehoppers and their relatives.
The Naked Archeologist... episode that explains a physical event caused all of the Moses leaving Egypt events is spot on. I enjoyed watching a scientist explaining stuff like that... thought you would too. 😃😊🙂
Parasiticize? That's when a parasite parasitizes another parasite that is parasitizing parasites that parasitize other stuff that may or may not but mostly not be parasites themselves.
Can they still fly? The large camouflaging part sticking out over their head seems pretty thick. What's inside it? Is it an extension of the body chamber? Does it contain organs or fluids? Or is it solid or hollow?
their must have been some weird ass bugs flying, crawling, digging and swimming around when dinosaurs ruled the earth through their whole timeline. n we'll never know know a quarter of them. sadface
Tree hoppers are literally just random crazy shapes with legs
And ı love them
Yeah, but that is what makes em so rad and funny
They’re doing their best ok
I hate them
"ı" is usualy pronounced simular to u. Which still makes what you said true.
@@emilandreasson9670 what is this characters name? From what alphabet is it?
"The horseshoe tree hopper gets its name from being shaped like a horseshoe and being a tree hopper." * furiously taking notes *
Sleeping pills put you to sleep due to their dormative powers.
Impossible!
How could the horseshoe tree hopper shapes like a horse shoe and a tree hopper
Mono=one
Rail=rail
As am I...
"And the treehopper bit comes from beeing a treehopper" :D
🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
All bugs are AMAZING miniature masterpieces.
I love every single one.
Would love to see photo of compared size...like next to a penny.
Opening with the taxonomic issues was a bold choice. Separate the chaff from the wheat who'll slog through it!
Wow very cool. Still hoping you'll feature the Bird of Paradise Flies one day.
I just looked them up and…what the…
I agree. I need them to be featured. I need an explanation.
@@coconutcore They are weirdos.

@@coconutcore Yeah, I've never seen the females in the wild but I often see small groups of males floating about showing off their plumage.
That treehopper weirdly keeps reminding me of the Emperor Sea Strider from that Alien Planet documentary. Must be the long head crest.

Such a bizarre creature! Thank you for bringing this bug to light!
I wonder how well they can fly with those massive "horns" sticking out of either end.

What a funny weird lil bug!!!
I absolutely love learning about these. So many crazy shapes
You manage to make "We don't know" into an entertaining, and even informative, video
I learn more watching your videos than I do in my biology class
Learning about the existence of the 8 biogeographical realms was the most interesting part of this video.
I love ur videos
More tree hoppers! Milk the content, they are one of my favorites.
Just don't throw them at a spike
I will throw the spike at them then.
Cladonata treehopper: shaped like the letter C
I like this genus name solely for the fact that it creates a visual pun
Another very cool tree hopper.
i love leaf hoppers
That thing is a straight up Wayne Douglas Barlowe alien

Get a mammal in your new animal of the week videos!!
So wild looking and it took me a minute to figure out where the head is. 🤣 Thank-you!
Child: my unicorn poops rainbows
Scientist: this insect poops honeydew
It remind me more of plesiosaur...
Thanks, I'd never heard of them before this.
I love this AOTW video
Truth is stranger than fiction for sure hahaha
This looks like the Trilobite with the long nose and 2 finger snapper. From the Dinocaridida.
Wow, I never knew these strange creatures existed, thanks for sharing.
Finally a new video Good job
It took me half of the video to realize the head is not at the top of the horseshoe, but right next to the legs
Great video
Truthfully I don't know how I got to this video and I Kno I won't encounter these types of insects in the near future but good to kno
music sounds like black adder goes forth
Interesting creaturew
that's "U" Unown
for some reason, this specific type of treehopper makes me very uncomfortable
Guess I'm a bit early
Very cool critters, I never even knew they existed til I saw this
Parasiticize? That's when a parasite parasitizes another parasite that is parasitizing parasites that parasitize other stuff that may or may not but mostly not be parasites themselves.
Did I miss where you pointed out a head? I don't think that the front and back are very obvious on this critter.
Early gang where yall at?
- snap -
Can they still fly? The large camouflaging part sticking out over their head seems pretty thick. What's inside it? Is it an extension of the body chamber? Does it contain organs or fluids? Or is it solid or hollow?
Are any crypted insects not giant but crypted seen but unscientifically discovered
let's just hope no horses get confused and step on them
Great video, Where da weevil at?
400,000 SUBSCRIBER VIDEO YET? IT WILL BE 500,000 SOON.
I can’t tell what I’m looking at, does it even have a face
Those insects look like fungi
Horseshoe
Im early
Im so early ._.
Same
This is one of those insects that I see and literally can't make heads or tails of it.. it's basic insect anatomy is difficult to identify.
where's its head? lol
Please keep milking those hoppers!!
Honeydew, aka: hopper poop
Lol You think Patagonia is tropical?, Roflmao.

It would be useful to spell out the name of your critters--not sure I got the name correctly.
I'm late :(
Animal of the week is mostly exellent, but there a no German untitle 😔 Do you know the German name of this animal?
their must have been some weird ass bugs flying, crawling, digging and swimming around when dinosaurs ruled the earth through their whole timeline. n we'll never know know a quarter of them. sadface
Pronounced Membraseedae not Membrakaidae
Step 1. Like. Step 2. Watch video
