The Cercopidae are a large family of Hemipteran bugs, commonly known as froghoppers or spittlebugs. These insects are found worldwide, with many species living in Europe and the UK. They get their common name from the froglike shape and jumping ability of the adults, which can leap many times their own body length.

Worldwide there are over 500 species of these wasp-like bees. They are generally hairless, black  with yellow-white faces small bees. They feed their larvae pollen, but being hairless cannot collect it in the normal manner, instead the female carries the pollen and nectar in her crop and regurgitates it into the cell into which she will lay an egg.

A worldwide family of solitary bees commonly known as mason bees and leafcutter bees, due to the material that they use to build their nests.
