fleahopper
Tiny crop insect
A fleahopper is a small jumping insect that feeds on plant sap, belonging to the family of true bugs.
These pests damage cotton, alfalfa, and other crops by puncturing leaves and stems.
The name comes from their flea-like leaping ability when disturbed, though they're not related to fleas.
