This was crawling around all over my hibiscus leave this morning. There were actually 2 of them, identical in size, shape, color, etc. They have wings on their backs which they used to help them "jump" from leaf to leaf. Help? SHould I be worried about my hibiscus?

That looks like an Assassin bug, they are beneficials and prey on other insects:
