It's the first Hesus sp. on the PN database!

Thank you Dominik & Ignacio! The link provided looks like a match so I'm going with H. humeralis.

Sounds good, even with my misspelling... For sure it is not Arididae, but Aradidae, sorry, please, change. I would go with Hesus sp., that sounds also good, but I am not sure if you can go down to species with only a picture. There are a tremendous amount of bugs in Ecuador, Peru and Colombia which are not yet proparly described.

I agree with bayucca, it's a flat bug (btw yo misspelled the name of the family, it is Aradidae). It looks like Hesus sp. probably Hesus humeralis http://www.americaninsects.net/ht/hesus-humeralis.html
