I looked for an electronic reference before reading this and found your Net-winged hopper. Thanks once again!
bayucca
Nogodinidae, Biolleyana sp., formerly called Sassula sp., sorry, no electronic reference. There are several different species in Costa Rica, I only know Costata and Costalis. I just remembered my former ID, where I called this one Net-winged Planthopper. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/8306946
