Another prize from today's sweep-netting expedition into a clearing in the woods around my house. This guy was extremely docile for a hopper, and would only jump with much provocation. Im not ure if its a treehopper or leafhopper, but I suspect treehopper because of its elaborate shape which leafhoppers usually seem to forego. Any ID help is appreciated
