Came across the oddest looking insect today. about 7mm long. Bright orange and yellow bands in the head and abdomen. Clear wings with red and black tooth shaped patterns in the upper borders of the wing. wingspan is about 3cm . Wings are permanently open (not tucked) with patterns flipped forwards. looks very much like a cicada?

OMG! Thanks for the ID Christine Y! I was kicking myself for not bringing my macro lens for this outing.
Four, very interesting photos....

Awesome! It’s a derbid planthopper. Not sure of the exact species though.
