You are so right...no fireants! I visited Texas and they were something to fear in the backyard.
Yes, we do have an extention service that I’ll check with. I did a little research and looked at leafhoppers...but, the whitest colored one has yellow on it...mine don’t. But, I’ll get my magnifier out and look real close. So far none of the damage on leaves like that have been shown on the pages I researched. That’s good.
We have Mealy Bugs here in coastal northern Calif but I don’t think they jump. I just mash em with my fingers...
