Various host plants, can't recognize anything until you disturb them, they look like white mould, see attached image.
They do jump.

Can you make some photo with extra-zoom (not crop I mean)? I cannot exclude some wooly aphid like some species from Eriosomatinae s.f.

(to be honest, I think this is an infestation from aphids)

No, I didn't. Otherwise I wouldn't tell about aphids. These are cicadellids

No Cicadellidae. Habitus, antennae and excretions suggest Fulgoromorpha. Maybe Cixiiidae larva.

In general looks OK. But can't find anything that would be hairy more but 'tail' stuff, i don't think residums on grains come from tails, rather from other body parts.

Thanks ! That looks like it.

Metcalfa pruinosa only present here, as far as I know.
