Oak Tree hopper - Platycotis vittata
Summerfield, Guildford County, North Carolina, USA
June 12, 2015
My first time seeing one and after some searching on BG, I believe to be a Oak Treehopper (Platycotis vittata) and would like a confirmation.

This tree hopper was sitting on a Maple leaf soaking up the sun at eye level along the woods edge behind our home.
