Thank you for sharing your spotting, JoAnneDavis. With Micro lens, it shows all the colors and details in spottings and people do not realize how minute they really are!!

Yes, you're right, the pictures don't really show the markings. I do remember what it looked like though, and using these pictures you posted, I think I've come up with a species. Thank you!

To the best that I can see on my screen, looks like a leafhopper and I would guess in the subfamily of Sharpshooters. Maybe even in the Cicadellini tribe, where there are a few species with blackish wing tips. But I can see much detail in the pics.
