Touch upon Widespread Frog Hopper (Philaenus spumarius) by Calvin Jones

In reply to Crescentia Phelan.

You don’t must — they’re simply the nymphs of a totally innocent native insect known as a frog-hopper. They do no injury to your vegetation and pose no threat to you. This subject is barely cropping up due to sensationalist media reviews round a bacterial illness known as Xylella fastidiosaJust, which at current doesn’t happen in Eire.

One of the simplest ways to keep away from/stop Xylella? Cease importing vegetation from the continent plant native species, or solely purchase imported vegetation that you already know have been correctly screened to be illness free earlier than arriving on this nation.
