This very tiny plant hopper, white but with clear extended wings, orange and yellow body, amazed me with the thickness of the body and the large eyes, I really thought it was a Moth!!??

Just can't help yourself can you - LOL - hope it's a good break for you.
I usually read former comments, but not always, take too much time ;-)...
I am on the road for vacations, meaning busy...
CBK said that comment #2 :-)
Oh, that was an easy one ;-), but unfortunately I cannot get closer than the family :-(. I am not familiar with these Derbidae.
Very good Doc 8-/
Derbidae, Derbid Planthopper.
Thank you, Hema Shah, I am still a bit confused about this Plant hopper, it never closed it's wings!!??
Thank you, sarah in the woods.

Beautiful and amazing!
You will find them, Diaz José Miguel. Take your Macro, get down and think...tiny... : ) : )
Thank you, Sergio Monteiro. So many hoppers, butterflies, moth, bugs, birds!! ....and so little time to share.... : (
incredible! I'm gonna start searching for one!!
Gilma, living in Costa Rica I am sure you are very, very far from having seen them all... I bet you'll still have many surprises ahead...
Thank you, StephenSolomons. Very surprised it is a Hopper!!
Thank you, Mark Ridgway, I thought it was a tiny moth because of the open wings, never saw it closing them!!
pretty little hopper, very nice!
Lovely little hopper Gilma. Fully open wings would be unusual with ours.
Yes, CindyBinghamKeiser, just when I thought I saw them all I start finding this wing creature that turned out to be Hoppers too!?
They sure are!
