No, a Froghopper and a Leafhopper are not the same insects. Froghoppers belong to the family Aphrophoridae and are known for their jumping ability, while Leafhoppers belong to the family Cicadellidae and are typically smaller with a more varied diet that includes plant juices.

What role does genetics play in the variation seen in this leafhopper population?

Genetics play a significant role in the variation seen in the leafhopper population as it influences traits such as coloration, size, and behavior. Genetic variation results from differences in the DNA sequences of individuals, leading to phenotypic diversity within the population. Natural selection acts on this genetic diversity, shaping the adaptations that are advantageous for survival and reproduction in the leafhopper population.

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.
