Leafhopper

Pagaronia minor

Leafhopper

Adult leafhoppers occupy grasses, shrubs, and other leafy vegetation, especially in warm open habitats. They feed on plant sap with piercing mouthparts and readily spring or fly when disturbed. Adults use their wings to move between host plants and evade predators. The hind legs can launch an individual many times its body length in a single jump.
