Creiis longipennis
I first thought this was a small seed stuck in web. At about 8mm long this pink-orange coloured insect resembles a hopper but with longer antennae and a couple of other different features.
Resting on a wall in a nature reserve adjoining a national park.

Beautifully colored one! They are usually bark colored!
wonderful little bug,
thanks martin
This looks like a psyllid to me. The wings have less branching in my opinion. Either way you can still call them plant lice.
