Cercopis vulnerata
Adult froghoppers jump from plant to plant; some species can jump up to 70 cm vertically: a more impressive performance relative to body weight than fleas. The Frog Hopper can accelerate at 4000 m/s2 over 2mm as it jumps. Spittlebugs can jump 100 times their length.
Grasses. Found among leaves of Cooper's reed.

Done! thanks Cindy :-)
Hello, I started a mission that focuses on the hoppers. I'm hoping it will global rather than just the 300 mile radius of where I'm at. Regardless, I'd really appreciate you adding your hopper spotting(s). http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8096... Thank you!
