If you look closely at the stem in the middle of the top picture of this Japanese hawkweed plant you can see a tiny grasshopper (or maybe cricket) nymph. How little? My (ill-kempt) fingernail is just behind the flowers in the picture below. I did the comparison for the sake of the flowers - I did not see the little nymph until I was looking at the picture on the computer screen.
