Looks like a "sharpshooter" leafhopper. There's a website here, that has an amazing collection of images: http://naturalhistory.museumwales.ac.uk/sharpshooters/home.php?

Now that you mention that, I just notice a little ant, just by the hopper, looks like a minima of the leafcutter.

If you don't mind, can I ask what kind of camera and lens you were using? Great shot by the way!
