Researchers exploring Uganda’s Kibale National Park have discovered seven new species of frog-like leafhoppers. The tiny insects, named for their frog-shaped bodies and powerful jumping legs, are so similar in appearance that scientists must examine microscopic anatomical details to tell them apart. The find represents the first new African species of this group recorded since 1981. One species was named in honor of the scientist’s late mother.
