Entylia carinata
Entylia carinata, commonly known as the keeled treehopper, is a species of treehopper in the family Membracidae. It is found in Brazil, Panama, Mexico, the United States, and Canada.[1][2][3][4] Keeled treehoppers are often attended by ants which feed on the honeydew excreted by the treehoppers. In return, the ants offer protection from predators.[5] Keeled treehoppers typically feed on plants in the aster family. They are not known to transmit plant diseases and are not considered significant plant pests.[5]
