Leafhopper (specifically Sharpshooter type)

Gardens, agricultural fields, forests, and grassy areas worldwide where host plants are present.

Plant sap (xylem or phloem). They use piercing-sucking mouthparts to feed on a wide variety of plants.

Known for their ability to jump quickly when disturbed. They are often attracted to lights at night and can produce 'honeydew' or 'brochosomes' (waxy secretions) to protect themselves and their eggs.

Generally harmless to humans (though they may occasionally 'bite' with their sucking tube, causing minor irritation). They are significant agricultural pests because they can transmit various plant diseases, such as Pierce's disease in grapevines.
