Leafhoppers - as their name suggests - will hop about
when disturbed on plants. The classic symptoms
of leafhopper damage, is pale flecks on the leaves of Chrysanthemums,
Pelargoniums and Primulas. Other plant may also be affected. The
damage caused is insignificant, though the little bugs are capable of
spreading viruses from plant to plant - especially the case with
Chrysanthemums and Pelargoniums and increasingly, a fungal disease to
rhododendrons and azaleas.
Small green bugs - quite lively when disturbed - often
found on the underside of leaves and their cast of skins are often
mistaken for whitefly cast-offs. |
