 Metcalfa pruinosa (Citrus Flatid Planthopper) - imm. | And here is a nymph of the Citrus Flatid Planthopper. Nymphs are mainly white with tail ends covered with waxy filaments that break of easily. I found this one on my wife's dirty white car. After allowing me to take a few photos, it (the nymph not the car) suddenly jumped away.
