Maybe the nymph of a leafhopper, they are smaller and without wings. Posted 10 years ago

  I'm in doubt, I've asked external help where they insist it is a cicade, they just don't know which one yet. Posted 10 years ago

    From what I've seen, Cicadas are more robust and these are similarly looking nymphs of leafhoppers. I cannot find a better match though.

      That 2nd link is very interesting. I did not know leafhoppers could look so cicacde-like :)
      
      I didn't get any further follow-up from the external help. A guy promised to look into it, but hasn't yet. Posted 10 years ago
