A small jumping insect (Family Cercopidae) that resembles a tiny frog and produces foamy protective coating on plants.
Compound of 'frog' and 'hopper,' describing the insect's frog-like jumping ability; the name has been used in entomology since the 19th century.
Froghoppers create the foamy 'cuckoo spit' on plants by excreting a frothy substance—it's one of nature's cleverest disguises, hiding the insect while fooling predators!
