Misplaced?
Previous comment from Dr. Hamilton was "Metcalfa pruinosa, not Anormenis chloris" or did I miss another discussion thread?

Many thanks
Thanks to everyone for responding to my query. I am learning more and more everyday but obviously there are just so many insects in our midst you really do need the pros many times. Often, I can at least figure out where to start trying to ID, but with the irregularities in nymph stages this could turn out to be anything.
Eric thank you for the welcome. I love the opportunity to share my tiny discoveries.

Hmmm..
Looking at the placement of the antennae below the eyes, this would be something in the suborder Auchenorrhyncha, superfamily Fulgoroidea. It is somewhere in the families Delphacidae, Issidae or something closely related!
Greetings,

Metcalfa pruinosa
Definitely a planthopper nymph. Coming from Ontario, that narrows down the field considerably. I sent the URL for this photo to Lois OBrien, the specialist on these bugs, and she confirms that it is a Flatid. Tony's photo on http://bugguide.net/node/view/45872/bgimage show it is Metcalfa pruinosa, not Anormenis chloris.

Spittlebug?
Maybe a
Spittlebug
, though the images all seem darker than this guy.

spittlebug?
Definitely a planthopper - look at the way the thorax curves forward over the head, and all those pits in an arc behind the eye. Plus the waxy "tail"!
