Corn Leafhopper
The Corn Leafhopper is a small insect belonging to the family Cicadellidae. It primarily feeds on the sap of corn plants, which can lead to reduced crop yields. These insects are typically green or yellow and are known for their ability to jump long distances.
In addition to affecting corn, the Corn Leafhopper can transmit diseases to plants, such as Corn Stunt Disease. Farmers often monitor for these pests to manage their populations and protect their crops effectively. Understanding their life cycle and behavior is crucial for effective pest control strategies.
