A planthopper is any insect in the infraorder Fulgoromorpha, [1] in the suborder Auchenorrhyncha, [2] a group exceeding 12,500 described species worldwide. The name comes from their remarkable resemblance to leaves and other plants of their environment and that they often "hop" for quick transportation in a similar way to that of grasshoppers.
Insect winter ecology describes the overwinter survival strategies of insects, which are in many respects more similar to those of plants than to many other animals, such as mammals and birds. Unlike those animals, which can generate their own heat internally ( endothermic ), insects must rely on external sources to provide their heat ...
These minute insects, colloquially known as hoppers, are plant feeders that suck plant sap from grass, shrubs, or trees.

In parts of yard, overwintering bees and other beneficial insects live in dormant plant material. But aphids, beetles lurk in veggie plot.
Treehoppers have specialized muscles in the hind femora that unfurl to generate sufficient force to jump. [ 3 ] It had been suggested that the pronotal "helmet" could be serial homologues of insect wings, [ 4 ] but this interpretation has been refuted by several later studies, such as Mikó et al. (2012) and Yoshizawa (2012).
