Treehoppers, adults and nymphs (Publilia concava)

Goldenrods and Publilia treehoppers go together. This is a fresh generation appearing now, and as with all Publilia treehoppers, these were attracting ants who enjoy the 'honeydew' secreted by the bugs, in return for which they will protect the treehoppers. Just try going near a leaf with these guys on and see how quickly the ants will converge to try and drive you off.
