Can anyone tell me what insect this is and what to do about it. I found it last evening on a plant and its colour is actually GREEN, not brown. The flash made it look brown. It didn't even look like an insect until I took it off the plant and had a good look at it. It did jump at one point. It was somewhat hard when it was terminated. Very tiny. I will post a couple of pics.

Please help. I have holes in several of my plants and I am hoping that this is the culprit - not another pest doing the damage.

Thanks for any help you can give.
