It looks like a whitefly (aphid cousin). Only the bristles and antennae length do not match. Its relatives (leafhoppers) have bristles. Note that pupae have bristles. Hmmm... http://bugs.osu.edu/bugdoc/Shetlar/462/4...
I've seen photos of somewhat similar North American insects but can't remember what they are called! I'll do some research and see if I can help. It's a spectacular insect!

I've been researching for the last hour or so and cannot find an id. I think it's a moth but could be mistaken.
Bizzarre! Nice macro photo. Sorry, no idea what it is.
