Thanks for all the help, at least I know what it was now. I've looked into derbid planthoppers and I agree that getting down to a genus level would be very difficult let alone trying to find out the species. Thank you all for all the help I really appreciate it. I really love knowing what all the animals around me are.
Wing shape, head, lacking of typical moth antennae do not indicate a moth. This pose is typical for Derbidae. But we have to be careful with these planthoppers. They slways are good for surprises. In this case I am quite confident, though.

Awesome spotting! I have removed this from the Flies! mission for you. It would be a great addition to The Hoppers mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8096...
Great find Nick!
This is great!

Beautiful spotting!
This is definitely a Derbid planthopper.
Getting into the genus level is quite difficult.
Bayucca - I will go along with that. Good call.

It looks like a species of plume moth, family Pterophoridae.

Should be a Derbid Planthoppee, Derbidae.
