What is this? It was tiny but it reminds me of a Cicada.

I don't know what this is, but it looks like some type of Leafhopper to me. I will stay tuned to see what the experts come up with.

How large is it? It does look Cicada-ish. And it also looks Katydid-ish.

Kwanjin. it was all of 1/2 inch (or less) in length. I did learn, after posting this, that Leafhoppers are related to Cicadas, for what that's worth....

It looks like a planthopper in the family Dictyopharidae -
