The shape of the head suggests a nymph in the Order Orthoptera, the short antennae would point possibly to a type of grasshopper. I think it's a 1st instar nymph where the hind legs aren't showing much development, but the hind femur can't be seen well enough.

I could be wrong! Leafhopper nymphs don't usually have an elongated head.

A photo showing different stages from an egg, the hind leg on the first stage after hatching doesn't look to be noticeably thickened.
