Field Notes

Description:

This strange and small (about 6mm) creature does not fly, only jumps. I found it in a mango tree leaf in my garden. This is the first time I saw it.
First I thought it was a moth, but then it jumps. So, let´s try to find the ID...

You have so many crazy insects in the jungles I wouldn't dare to make any ID. For my eyes it may look like planthopper, but I am not sure.
