There are over 20,000 known species of leafhoppers (family Cicadellidae) worldwide. They are a diverse group of insects found in various habitats, including forests, grasslands, and agricultural areas. Leafhoppers play significant roles in ecosystems, both as herbivores and as vectors for plant pathogens. Ongoing research continues to discover and describe new species, suggesting that the actual number may be even higher.

Why do meat ants protect leafhoppers?
Leafhoppers excrete a sugary sap that is collected by meat ants, which help to preserve or be a food source. Meat ants will protect leafhoppers so that they may collect the sap, forming a mutalistic relationship. http://webecoist.com/2009/03/01/symbiotic-bird-animal-relationships/

Why the number of green leafhoppers are much larger in rice fields than in other places?
The number of green leafhoppers is often larger in rice fields due to the abundant availability of their preferred food source, which is rice plants. These fields provide a suitable habitat with optimal conditions for reproduction and development, including shelter from predators. Additionally, the monoculture nature of rice cultivation allows for high population densities, as the insects can thrive without the competition from other plant species. Consequently, rice fields serve as a hotspot for green leafhoppers, leading to larger populations compared to other environments.

Are there leafhopper viruses?
Yes there are leafhopper viruses. All insects are susceptible to viruses. Leafhoppers have been shown to be infectedd with DNA and/or RNA viruses (Hunter, W., USDA, ARS). They may also be infected with multiple viruses at one time. Leafhoppers, some of which are called sharpshooter leafhoppers, like the glassy-winged sharpshooter also transmit plant viruses as well as plant infecting bacteria (one example: Xylella fastidiosa). Leafhoppers are second in importance (aphids being first) in causing economic losses as they transmit a lot of plant diseases during feeding. Emerging discoveries in leafhopper viruses are trying to use these naturally adapted pathogens to suppress leafhopper pest populations.
