Female treehoppers (P. reticulata Van Duzee) modify their parental care behavior in the presence of ants. Females with untended young remain with their original brood, but females from ant-tended colonies readily desert their 1st brood and produce additional clutches. Care by female treehoppers, in the absence of ants, increases the probability that a colony will produce same survivors, but ant attendance greatly increases the number of surviving nymphs.
