# Title Widefooted Treehopper with Ant Attendant Description A Widefooted Treehopper (Campylenchia latipes) clings to a plant stem. An Odorous House Ant (Tapinoma sessile) can be seen "tending" to this treehopper to collect honeydew secretions. This is an example of mutualism, a relationship between individuals of different species in which both individuals benefit.
