Surely a Dictyopharidae, but I am not sure about the genus. Besides Dictyophara there are also common Hasta and Thanatodictya. Probably your quite broader snout might be a clue. Here is a Dictyophora concolor with a more slim snout and a median line which yours has not. http://bie.ala.org.au/repo/1131/193/1937... Dictyophara australiaca with a very short snout: http://www1.dpi.nsw.gov.au/keys/fulgor/s... Looks like Thanatodictya has darker wing tips: http://bie.ala.org.au/repo/1131/193/1937... Just take it as a hint.

Hello Christiane,
It looks like long snout leaf hopper...
long snout leaf hopper
It is... I have never seen one like this. Sadly the gecko got it just after the photo was taken. :)
Weird. Is it some sort of hopper?
