At first sight I thought of a butterfly cicada and Tosena sybylla. But if you look carefully at the position and size of the eyes and shape of the head, I have some little doubts if this is really a cicada. Might rather be some ind of a leafhopper. However the size of the whole insect (5 cm!) speaks more for a cicada, which usually have more glassy wings. The view from the side looks as well not specially like a cicada. Tricky one!! Just a few links for info... http://www.exoinsects.com/index_page/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=11_3_16&products_id=475 http://www.insect-sale.com/kr/photo.asp?photo=Trengganua-sybylla-M Nice video: http://www.flickr.com/photos/45763236@N02/6969142105/in/set-72157629188101672 Smae one as photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/45763236@N02/4207958355
