Lauren, if you read the instructions for creating a mission, you'll see that you are allowed to create local missions only. Besides, there is already a global "Hoppers" mission, which includes leaf and tree hoppers. Please, delete this mission. For more info, please go to the FAQ page: http://www.projectnoah.org/faq
