Is there enough in these images to tell who this is? I'm thinking one of the flea beetles, based on the form and hind legs? It was tucked down into the crown of a horsenettle.

Thank you!
That certainly looks right, and perhaps it's Eggplant Flea Beetle (Epitrix fuscula)? I looked at the photos again and saw this one was on horsenettle, not thistle.
