Do you have other images?
Looks like a Cicadetta sp.
The ranges of these are still in debate and not well defined.
The cicada here (if green) is possibly C. kansa (not to be confused with the green forms of C. calliope and C. calliope floridensis in the southeast which are very similar in appearance)

No, but I can take more images.
What do you want a picture of? Would you want the wings spread?

additional images
dorsal, lateral and ventral
The only really small species I know belong to the genea Cicadetta & Beameria.
This cicada may be a Beameria and either teneral or discolored. It does look like this cicada has dark pigmentation along the periphery of the wings at the terminal points of the veins(??) - a character seen in both Beameria wheeleri & B. venosa.

Sorry, but what does
"periphery of the wings at the terminal points of the veins" mean? As for the other images, they will be coming soon. I don't have the best camera, but hopefully they will be clear enough.

I added more pictures
and now it is being moistened so its wings can be spread. I will probably get that picture here in around 3 or 4 days.

Beameria sp.
Pretty sure you have a Beameria sp.
To address your question - "periphery of the wings at the terminal points of the veins" - ???
If you look along the wing margins, you will notice the points where the veins meet the wing edge - it looks a bit darker (grey-ish).

Thank you
Feel free to frass any pictures that aren't needed for the guide. Also, unless you say differently, tommorrow I will move it to the genus and post a picture with the wings spread.
