So very tiny...last picture is how I saw it. Was trying to get a picture of a Crambid moth (left side of photo, upside down on stem), when I saw a tiny bit of metallic blue on the grass blade on the right)

E. binotata ‘morus’
Found on Morus(mulberry), caught and released.

from bugguide:

“-possible undescribed members of the E. binotata-complex-

these hoppers have not been formally acknowledged in any publication and so we cannot be 100% sure that these are distinct species. In addition to these, members of this complex have been observed on Agastache, Alnus, Asclepias, Cirsium, Cornus, Hemerocallis, Helianthus, Lespedeza, Lindera, MORUS, Myrica, Platanus, Rubus, Rumex, Silphium, Solidago, Vitis, and Wisteria.”
