Amphipsalta sp.
The wingless cicada nymph lives in darkness underground for at least three years sucking on roots. When ready to hatch it crawls out onto a tree trunk at dawn and breaks out of its old nymph skin and flies away.

Great spotting. These seem so hard to come by. I've only seen the adults.
