Candy-Striped Leafhopper

I spotted this pair of tiny beautiful bugs on my sunflowers! They were emitting something from their abdomen that looks like a spark during the day light. Looking closely, I could actually see something shoot a couple of inches away from them. In one of the photos above, I managed to capture the bubble of whatever it was on the bug. I believe this is a male and female pair; all of the single photos are of the one I think is the male. (It was larger and brighter than the other.)

**I'd like to add that weeks after these were spotted, I am still finding them on my sunflowers every day!
