Wikipedia definition
5. LeafhopperLeafhopper is a common name applied to 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. Their hind legs are modified for jumping, and are covered with hairs that facilitate the spreading of a secretion over the body that acts as a water repellent and carrier of pheromones.
