Just keep in mind that if you encounter something that know to be or suspect to be new to the Province (aside from large living invertebrates), you should ensure that a voucher specimen is collected in put in an appripriate repository collection, be it the Provincial Musem in Hlaifax, the Museum of Nature, or the Biosystematics collection in Ottawa.

It is very difficult , 20 years in the future to very fy morphometrics or do genetic analysis of a phot  (assuming that that was retained)

Just in case anyone keeps track of these things this Japanese
Leafhopper (Orientus ishidae), an introduced and seemingly now
worldwide species, was the first record for this area- but not
unexpected. See the comments below the photo on this BugGuide link:

I do not think it is a major pest in NA although a report of its
occurrence in Italian vineyards notes it as a disease transmitter
