Delphacidae.
Looks like a delphacid. I think I can make out the long, moveable spur on the inside of the hind tibia....

Nice portrait, Scott.
Critter comes across as simultaneously staid and goofy.

Thanks Ron...
I found quite a few of these and they were very docile. Had no fear either as there was a small ghost spider resting nearby and they would walk right up to it.

host?
If there were quite a few, then you should know what the host was. If it was ragweed, then it is probably Stobaera, which also has spotted legs. If otherwise, can you please watch for adults?

I wish...
I knew the ID of the plant. I'm pretty sure it wasn't ragweed though. I will keep an eye out for adults.
