Both planthopper adults and nymphs feed by sucking sap from plants; in so doing, the nymphs produce copious quantities of honeydew, on which sooty mould often grows. [3] One species considered to be a pest is Haplaxius crudus, which is a vector for lethal yellowing, a palm disease that nearly killed off the Jamaican Tall coconut variety. [9]
Candy-striped leafhopper (Graphocephala coccinea)Leafhopper is the common name for any species from the family Cicadellidae.These minute insects, colloquially known as hoppers, are plant feeders that suck plant sap from grass, shrubs, or trees.
The fossil record of Cixiidae is limited, and a number of taxa which have placed into the family may need to be reexamined and moved to different families. The oldest confirmed taxa are from the Early Cretaceous with ‘Cixius’ petrinus described from Barremian deposits in England, Karebodopoides aptianus from Hauterivian to Aptian Lebanese amber and Cretofennahia cretacea plus an unnamed ...
The Spotted lanternflies are a type of plant-hopper even though they have wings, they only fly short distances. They tend to walk or hop. Here are some ways to beat the flock that could be ...
Mangifera indica, commonly known as mango, is an evergreen [3] species of flowering plant in the family Anacardiaceae. [4] It is a large fruit tree, capable of growing to a height and width of 30 m (100 ft). [5] There are two distinct genetic populations in modern mangoes – the "Indian type" and the "Southeast Asian type". [6]
Information on the biology of the Derbidae is scarce. They clearly belong to the planthoppers which by nature feed by sucking the sap of plants and they have the corresponding mouthparts. However, relatively little is known about their life cycle, their feeding habits and their host plants.

Like all other planthoppers, they suck phloem sap of plants. Some species are known to communicate with vibrations through the plant stems. [ 1 ] Communication may be with mates, or with ants that tend the nymphs, protecting them and gathering honeydew secretions. [ 2 ]
