Entylia carinata
Both adults and nymphs are variable in color.

I'd never have guessed...
early instars Treehopper nymphs could be so small.
The tending ant (a minor worker of Pheidole sp., who is searching honeydew) gives a reliable scale, and it means that the black and white insect at her right reaches barely 1.5 mm length.
Even the dark adult Entylia sp. (I can't confirm the specific ID, being no specialist of Hemiptera) feeding on the main vein of the leaf is a small Treehopper indeed.

....
Yea, the smallest one was indeed very small.
It's right at (or maybe a little beyond) my 100mm lens capability, hence the not-so-good image of it.
It was weird to see all of them together.
