found some info on leaf hoppers. i was thinking i had fungus or something on my plants so i've been spraying my outdoor plants with h2o2 soulution and several times i have seen fuzzy white leaf hoppers fly/jump/hop out of the fuzz. i looked it up and according to missouri dept. conservation it is leaf hopper sheddings.
i pretty sure they have also been taking chunks out of my leaves.

Integrated Pest Management Strategies
1. Live with the pests. Because of their mobility and abundance, leafhoppers are not easy to control. However, leafhoppers are seldom present in large enough numbers to seriously injure plants. In addition, leafhoppers have many natural enemies, including lady beetles, lacewings, damsel bugs, and spiders. They are also subject to diseases and parasites that help keep their numbers down under most conditions.
2. Use row covers. Floating row covers or netting can be placed over plants early in summer to exclude leafhoppers. Remove row covers when the plants begin to flower.
3. Monitor with sticky traps. Many leafhoppers are attracted to yellow sticky traps which should be placed close to the foliage of the crop. Populations can be monitored with sticky traps and low populations can be managed using these traps.
4. Apply insecticidal soap. Insecticidal soap can control leafhoppers if applied when the insects are small. The immature leafhoppers are usually found on the underside of leaves so be sure to spray there also.
5. Apply insecticides. Other insecticides available for leafhopper control include botanical pyrethrins, carbaryl (Sevin), malathion, bifenthrin, cyfluthrin, bendiocarb (Turcam, Closure), disulfoton (Disyston), and acephate (Orthene). In general, these are most effective on the immature leafhoppers because they can't escape as well as the adults and are typically more susceptible to chemicals.
