Flatoidinus signatus
A Flatid planthopper which holds its wings horizontal, like a moth (but easily recognized as a planthopper by the very short, globose antennae). It is quite variable in color. There is some doubt about whether there is more than one species of this genus in the USA. This particular form (species?) has a more broadly rounded head than others.

Perhaps Something in the Planthopper Line?
B.P.
