Hi Jason,
Interesting about the leafhopper distributions. I'm amazed you've not had the Empoasca species at more than one site - they're usually the most abundant species by a mile for me, wherever I look (especially in winter). As you say, it is possible that you'll pick up unnoticed patterns, but you may have to search very hard for them, especially while you're getting mostly common species. What are your five habitats, and the species distribution? Be interesting to see.

I use Mapmate for my data (still getting used to it!). On e potentially important thing is how many specimens you see - a single one doesn't mean a lot, but lots of adults (or nymphs present) implies an established population. Ity's generally useful to have a notes field as well, for all the occasional things that don't fit into standard categories.
