Anyone know what this thing is? I found it on a cottonwood bonsai I've been trying to make.
Never seen one of these things before, doesn't look like it was doing anything to the tree.

Anything I should be worried about? The bonsai is barely clinging to life as is.
Thanks by the way

Not that guy but while tree hoppers do drink plant fluids its not the problem. Its like finding a mosquito on a guy with a gunshot wound

It is possible that the bug introduced a virus to the plant via feeding.

that's true, but that's a pretty young leafhopper and the leaf looks like its been sick a while. also that damage in the center looks like the work of chewing mouthparts.
