Congratulations AJ Arruda, this beautiful planthopper is our Spotting of the Day! We hope having it featured may help identifying it further!

"What an extraordinary mosaic-like pattern on this flatid planthopper (Poekilloptera sp.), our Spotting of the Day! Most images available online for this genus are of Poekilloptera phalaenoides, which shows quite a different spots pattern. Can anyone help further with identification?"

Thanks @bayucca! It really looks like a Flatid Planthopper and also seemed to me very different from the species of the genus "Poekilloptera" presented in the indicated links.
