Abstract

The purpose of this publication is to provide guidance and tips on observing hoppers, a group of insects including leafhoppers, planthoppers, and treehoppers. Further, it explains how to leverage iNaturalist to document your observations of the natural world and thereby contribute to science. The intended audience is anyone who is interested in the natural world and wants to learn more about observing and identifying hoppers and contributing to science by adding observations to iNaturalist.
