Some moths have large bodies and wings; some very small ones, like leaf hoppers, also migrate long distances, but all seem to sense approaching storm fronts and ride the fast-moving winds ahead of them.

They require a vector to be transmitted from plant to plant, and this normally takes the form of sap-sucking insects such as leaf hoppers, in which they are also able to survive and replicate.
23.
One study has shown that this process of transmission also has negative effects on the leaf hopper itself, where significant numbers of leaf hoppers may die after being infected with " S . citri ".

The most common order of insects found here include Coleoptera ( beetles ), Diptera ( flies ), Hemiptera ( true bugs ) Homoptera ( leaf hoppers ), and Hymenoptera ( bees, wasps and ants ).

Many insects including potato leaf hopper, leaf cutter bees, and aphids have been observed transmitting conidia of " Verticillium " and because these insects can cause damage to the plant creating an entry for the " Verticillium ", they can help transmit the disease.

The study also found differences in short term and long term feeding preferences where both kinds of leaf hoppers initially settled on beet plants ( when observed over a period of 2 days ) and later moved to their preferred choices ( when observed over 20 days ).

Researchers tested the impacts of modes of acquisition on the latent period of " S . citri " within the leaf hopper and found that insects that had been injected directly with the prokaryote in their gut had the lowest latency period of 10 days followed by leaf hoppers who had ingested the pathogen from an infected plant ( 16 days ).
