Large white bugs that hop like fleas when disturbed. Cottony web on underside of leaves. Any ideas what it is and what to do?

Arlene, I think that you might be dealing with "Flatid Planthoppers." Here's an article from the Univ. of Florida: http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/crea...

I hope someone will see your question that has actual experience with them

Hi Arlene. Sandy is correct, Flatid Planthoppers...but there is good news, According to this info from Bugwood at the Univ. of Georgia, you shouldn't have to do much to get them under control.

Great! Thank you for identifying. I sprayed insecticidal soap but haven't checked on they yet today.

You are very welcome. I figure the natural predators should come help you cause you have enough other things to keep you busy.
