I just love when I can bring something here that triggers a good discussion. It is a real pleasure to follow the line of thought, I can almost hear the mind sprockets moving... Thank you guys, I'll keep stho002 and bayucca's suggestion, hoping to narrow it down to species in the future.

Not more than the others before: Flatidae and looks close to Flatoidinae.

Fabulous Stephen. And it seems there is a cousin holidaying with Agnes in the Philippines. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/15785043

Definitely Flatidae: Flatoidinae

Stay calm Gilma.. :-) my best guess.. Fulgoroidea, maybe nymphal Acanaloniidae... let's wake bayucca up now!

Sergio, you've got to stop making stuff-up !!! ...
Mark Ridgway
It's got those little face gadgets... um... antennal stapes? Cixiidae would look good too but no white fluffy ones at all. This derbid is at least white and fluffy... http://naturecloseups.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/00071846.jpg

Mark, Derbidae was the first thing that came to my mind, but I couldn't find anyone that looks like this one!
Sergio Monteiro
It says "thank you", Gilma! :-) It is a "hopper", but not a membracidae. My guess is that is a planthopper, Superfamily Fulgoroidea, but I don't know the family.
Mark Ridgway
Maybe if you undo that zipper down it's back... ? :-)
