Thank you drP and Mauna for nice comments ;) Tnx Martin for your help but this is also created by moths http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/232... although I agree with the pattern on its wings looks more like hopper's wings

I think this is a psyllid bug (Hemiptera) also called jumping plant lice.
I would expect a moth to have more veins in the wings and some wing scales.
The sparse wing vein pattern is typical of psyllids.
The fluffy body is unusual. http://www.flickr.com/photos/69610519@N0...

It's so cute! It looks like a cross between a fly and a moth though.
