Eurybranchidae
Tiny hopper (5mm) with two upright spikes and a bunch of lichen-like folds at its tail.
On eucalyptus leaf.
This one seems to have a pale green rear - lichen mimicry? Sorry for the poor quality of the photos. (ID credited to Kellie Harris. Interpretive Officer, Australian Museum)

Spotted one in 13 December 2014 in Windhoek, Namibia, Africa...with my Father. Got a nice picture.
Yes good call bayucca.
I see I was not completely out of the row with the family, however, I did a terrible misspelling...
Changed ID - much happier with it now.
Absolutely wonderful! Great spotting Argybee!

looks the closest but it is on the wrong type of plant...
http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_... is the right tree... hmm
Must keep second picture on front as it is very clear..
Welcome..
You also find them as I use Google Chrome browser.. :)
Good link Ashish thank you. I'll get around to research this one soon. My fault for leaving so many older ones to research and repair :)

Thanks bayucca. I was being a bit lazy with this one. I hadn't got back to it. Your conversation with ShannaB seems a good lead.
Fulgoroidea, might be Eurybrachyidae (this time)?. Look at this one, we had a very nice and interesting discussion ;-)...

I don't know insects that well but this is a very wrinkled and interesting creature.
