I captured a few shots of this guy in my backyard in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. I tried to key it out online as a leafhopper of some kind but was unable to find a match. Any help with the ID would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Ron

Thanks very much. I spent a half an hour searching for the ID the other night and didn't come close. You nailed it very quickly. Thanks for the help!

Thanks, Linda. I'd not seen this type of insect before so was it was a fortuitous encounter in my backyard.
