Cosmopsaltria doryca
This is the most common (very!) cicada for this location. I typically locate them by their loud "singing" but I simply spied this quiescent specimen.
Spotted on an Areca "betel nut" palm (Areca catechu) in a large partially wooded yard & garden adjacent to a disturbed patch of remnant lowland forest. This is in the equatorial lowland tropics of northern New Guinea.

In the case of this one, we'd be sued. ;-)
Wouldn't it be great if we could add sound recordings to our spottings.
