Another sleeping Bee + a Nymph ?

I find these occasionally. This one is holding onto the end of a small leaf on a Daisy Fleabane. It's maybe 4-5mm long... Up until I started shooting macro, I never really found or noticed many things like these... The nymph is from yesterday & I have an ID request out on it at Bug Guide...

The leaf hopper nymph has been ID'd as a Genus Coelidia...

Thanks, I've been fortunate to be able to spot them. You do have to get out early when it's cooler & they are not "awake" yet...This one I spotted as I was looking for a tiny assassin bug that had been hiding under the bloom of the same plant the day before. I had not gotten very good images of it & was just going back hoping it would still be there (it wasn't)i sure would like to see one of those sleepers,good job

Nice hopper nymph! I can't seem to get the whole hopper in focus. Well done.
