Yeah, I'm not sure either Chun. Flatidae is just my go-to family when I see a nymph like this.

I am not sure whether it is a Flatidae because there are still many other families of planthoppers to consider. I nicknamed them peacock planthoppers as they display their tail "feathers" like peacocks.
I spotted one from Maliau Basin too

Funny Dan, we are seeing similar things on different sides of the globe, and posting them at the same time!
