Welcome.
That there critter looks like a sharpshooter. we have one around here that looks very similar. They are the reason the only grapes we can grow are muscadines. They carry pierces disease that kills all European grape varieties. i have seen them on several other fruit trees and vines but usually cause us no other harm. they will excrete a white substance that does not wash off,...gobs and gobs of it.

Sheila, welcome to the forum.

Looks like Ralph might be right about that bug being a sharpshooter aka leafhopper.
