Doesn't seem like they could mate in that position.
Must be some precursor? Beautiful image!

Campylenchia rugosa
"Brown buffalo treehopper" seems an odd name for a bug with only one horn. Personally, I call this the western thornhopper (the eastern one being C. latipes). Other suggestions are welcome.

Thanks
I just made that up. I guess I should have said brown treehopper instead of buffalo treehopper. I have treehopper and buffalo treehopper joined in my brain. :)
