Cicadellidae sp - Leafhopper

I found this crawling on the floor in my kitchen one night. It is the nymph of the Cicadellidae family (leafhoppers) and is less than half an inch in length.
It is not known what they feed on, but thought to be herbs and/or grasses.
When I first saw it, I thought it saw some kind of jello. LOL!!

Looks like a piece of candy.

I wonder what they would taste like--deep fried!
