Leafhopper - Sharpshooter (Oncometopia nigricans) video

[Precarious]

Found this in my yard as a subadult. The biggest leafhopper I've ever seen. Kept it for a few days to get photos and it molted to adult. It was half an inch as an adult! You can see the old skin hanging from a leaf in the video.
