I was wondering if this were a Green-Striped nymph...very small...based on the pink ridge and the eye markings. Many thanks for your time and help...Denise K.

Looks close to Chortophaga,
but looks "off" for that species (too broad and not "roof-like" enough on top. Arphia nymphs look very similar when little too, but hind legs are usually thicker - not so "knife-edged", and in other details look a little different too.

I think it is probably Encoptolophus costalis, which is very closely related to Encoptolophus. A nymph of that species in January also seems off, but you posted an adult in March, and another was posted from Dallas in February, so either there are winter nymphs or the adults lived through the winter. This little critter makes it look like they can overwinter as nymphs (or hatch in winter) in Texas.
