Ha
With those stubby wings I would have thought that they were immature; apparently they are not.

Hylaius oregonensis
A mating pair cannot be immature.

These are rare and very primitive leafhoppers that are mostly found on grand fir in undisturbed habitats; but they have also been found on poison oak on the Oregon State University campus!

Andy, thanks for your ID and explanation, now it's clear...

Congratulations!
Not only it is a rare find, but it added new genus and species pages to the guide. And you even got a mating pair.

Immature...
Yes, that's weird, but I think they are immature, actually from Membracidae family.

immatures
the wing buds of immatures are thick at the base, tapering backwards, whereas short ("brachypterous") wings always have a narrow basal connection, as do wings fully developed for flying
