Thanks Lauren. There seems to be a lot of these out there, a bit slightly different from each other.

Hi Dan: All these sites have something like yours and all think it is a Leafhopper nymph, Cicadellidae. Sure is a cute little thing. No one has an adult correlation that I've found.

You're probably right Lauren, that narrows it down a bit but still not sure where to search.

Some kind of Homoptera nymph, treehopper, plant hopper?
