I spotted this in Tupana Aru reserve. I wouldn't say these were common.

Thanks Mark and Adarsha. Looks like the exact same species in the link.
Thats an interesting Hopper :)
Unfortunately this is the only other one I can find Dan but Arthur Anker knows his cicadellids http://www.flickr.com/photos/artour_a/44...
Cicadellidae.... airplane hopper
Likely a planthopper. I don't see the halteres common in flies. Beautiful capture Dan.
Okay, thanks guys, I guess there are another set of wings tucked under the first pair. I've updated.
very nice and colorful! ...I don't know this insect but it's not fly, I suppose. I can see four wings. :-)
I don't think it's a fly Dan... it seems to have four wings.
