I spotted this Cicada on a blade of grass while on one of my hikes. I would guess that it was less than an inch long. I did a little research and I think it maybe called Beameria Venosa which is North America’s smallest cicada.

Very cool. I remember a couple years ago we had those 17 year cicadas and they would almost be swarming in places. I was in constant bug heebe jeebe dance mode.
