Doratura stylata
Distinguished by the 3 black spots on the tip of the head. A short-winged adult specimen.

Spittle Bug ?
Just noting, the shape looks like a Spittle Bug Nympth.
Can't find any similar in the BG database though.
It's just an educated guess.

Nope, leafhopper.
This is a leafhopper, family Cicadellidae. You can tell by the row(s) of spines on the hind tibia ("shin"), which distinguishes leafhoppers from spittlebugs. This individual is probably a nymph.
