These appear to be Leafhopper nymphs. I downloaded the originals, cropped them and added back the new images to help with ID. Great photos.

The adults are shown on page 154 of my book and are often seen lined up in rows along passion vine stems in Canberra gradens

These were walking along raspberry canes, not passion vines!
