Yes leaf hoppers will tear up plants. They got my food garden good this year and a few made it inside.

Funny i have been searching the web since i discovered them. have read some that say "minor to no harm to our beloved plant..
and i hate to use stuff like sevin dust but it's supposed to work on leafhoppers ..among others pest bugs..but yeah i think better
to get rid of or slow em down,, then wait and see.. lol when i first saw them i thought wow thats a Pretty bug(rareity in and of itself)
but thought i outta look into it.. anyone else with any knowledge of said "Little pretty bassturds" feel free to chime in.. Thanks @organicpanic~! grow strong

I see them every year on my plants in my greenhouse and have never seen any damage from them. Although I see one or two of them per day, I'd think that's safe to say that their numbers are low. I leave em' be.

Yeah i get very few inside and no damage done. They were causing quite a bit of speckling on my food crop. I was using neem, spinosad and homemade botanical sprays for aphids. Not sure if that chased them out or they left on theyre own
