I think this is a leafhopper nymph, perhaps of the genus Aphrodes? The leaf it is on is from a Thin-leaved Sunflower (Helianthus decapetalus).

Moved from Gyponini.

Moved from Ponana pectoralis.

Ponana
Probably P. pectoralis. The way it lowers its head and raises its "tail" is characteristic of Gyponini (Gyponana, Ponana and kin).
