## Caption

Video by joelsartore | Wide-footed treehoppers—this one recorded in Lincoln, Nebraska—are fairly easy to identify, with a thorax that extends forward to cover the head and backward to cover the abdomen. They are shaped to resemble thorns, allowing them to blend in among the trees and shrubs they feed on. Follow joelsartore to see more creatures featured in the Photo Ark. #treehopper #widefooted #insect #animal #wildlife #reel #pronotum #thorn #shield #PhotoArk
