摘要

Our research aimed to compare the chemical cues of treehoppers and host plants in two rare cases of herbivorous myrmecophilous butterflies laying eggs on treehoppers. Our hypothesis that the cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) profiles of the treehoppers would resemble those of their host plants was confirmed.
