It is definitely a Leafhopper {Graphocephala X} there are over 2500 species of them across the North American continent alone. I spend a lot of time photographing mine with a macro lense, so I have several very good photos of several exquisite species like the Sharpshooter, which looks like a turqouise jewel. The red and blue ones {Graphocephala coccinea} are quite common and beautiful. You're very perceptive, leafhoppers are related to cicadas.
