Leafhopper Exuvia - Possibly Oncopsis sp.

It had a slight split on its back and some tracheal linings dangling out.

Habitat: On alder; bog/mixed forest edge

Certainly some xxx-hopper - Cicadellidae or some such. I think you call'm Leafhoppers? On my own turf I would look at Oncopsis spp., probably alni, but I think the likes of flavicollis are also found on Alder. Anyway, have a look at US-species close to Oncopsis and known to use Alder as a host ...

Hmmm, here is a similar one that Andy Hamilton didn't bother to try and ID further:
