Cicadellidae, commonly known as leafhoppers, is a family of small, sap-sucking insects found worldwide. They are characterized by their slender bodies, long legs, and distinctive jumping ability. Leafhoppers play a significant role in ecosystems as both herbivores and prey for various predators. These insects are known for their diverse colors and patterns, which can help them blend into their surroundings. Some species are also important agricultural pests, as they can transmit plant diseases, affecting crops like corn and tomatoes. Understanding Cicadellidae is crucial for managing their impact on agriculture and maintaining healthy ecosystems.
