Planthopper

Commonly found in Mediterranean regions, gardens, meadows, and areas with dense vegetation or shrubbery.

Herbivorous; they use piercing-sucking mouthparts to feed on the sap of various host plants and shrubs.

Nymphs and adults are known for their jumping ability to escape predators. Large populations may produce honeydew, a sticky substance that can lead to sooty mold growth.

They are generally harmless to humans, but in large numbers, they can be minor agricultural pests by weakening plants or transmitting plant viruses.
