The individual shown was attracted to lights set up to attract moths at Neale Woods in June 2016. It is distributed throughout eastern North America with Nebraska being the western limit of its range. Treehoppers are generally common wherever they are found. They are seldom seen because of their small size and protective markings.

The host plant for this treehopper is shagbark hickory, bur oak and ironwood trees. They use their sharp proboscis to pierce their host plant to extract fluids. Eggs are laid by the female through her sawlike ovipositor in the cambium layer of twigs. There are 26 species in the genus Telamona in North America.
