Ceresa sp.
A little leaf with a face, basically. :) I have a lot of them in my yard, and they primarily hang out on the sunflower leaves. I have yet to see any with horns--they all look pretty much like this one.

This looks to be one of the hornless Buffalo Treehoppers. I think it is between Ceresa lutea or Ceresa festina (the Three-cornered Alfalfa Hopper) They look very close to me and I'm not sure how to tell them apart. They also both seem to be present around your area.
here are the 2 I mentioned:

Very nice - your first photo didn't seem to upload properly. Could you try uploading it again? Welcome to Project Noah
It's a tree hopper of some kind, Membracidae family.
