I'm not convinced on the cicada label for the other but I got no clue so.... Both seem to hang out a few at a time on my tent on sunny August afternoons. A grain of rice is a good size description as the textures you see are my tent and netting. I've just noticed them the last few years.

Reference: Here's the Peterson insect guide for leafhoppers, Family Cicdellidae, same as Cidadas, but only 20 times smaller.
