The Broad-headed Sharpshooter is a leafhopper. As a group, the sharpshooters are among the largest of the North American leafhoppers. The Broad-headed Sharpshooter is the only common and widespread member of its genus in the eastern U.S., and the only member of its genus known to occur in Maryland. It feeds on plant sap, and these feeding activities can spread plant pathogens.

Adults apparently over-winter (see photos).
