If anybody has any idea what this is, I'd appreciate you filling me in. I can't get any further than Hemiptera and maybe Heteroptera:

The wingspan is maybe 15mm, tops.

@FBM,

Cicada:

@timur,

I think it's closely related, but look at the wing shape. It's an odd one for a cicada. Notice the head size and its relationship to the wings, compared to your image.

@FBM,

I've heard that argument thousands of times.

Cicadas come in different shapes, sizes and colors.

So, a big black guy or a short Korean guy are not men?

@timur,

Dude. There are in the neighborhood of 2,500 species of cicada known, and one extant H. sapiens sapiens. Not a good analogy.

It's almost certainly some type of cicada, but I agree, it's got an unusual body shape. For one thing the wings are attached much closer to the head and the wings seem to be held flat rather than peaked.

Where did you find it? What country?

Can you get a photo of it's face?

Hey, Reg, I'm guessing that's a jaguar. Could be wrong. Great shot. Thanks.

edgar, Of course they're helping. The guy wouldn't be able to get anything done without their help.

Nice looking bugs, guys. Whatever they are. Thanks.

I had to search for it in Korean. It's in the Ricaniidae family, making it a (broadwinged) planthopper. This particular one is Euricania facialis. http://blog.naver.com/PostView.nhn?blogId=ipmkorea&logNo=20016399625&parentCategoryNo=2&viewDate=&currentPage=1&listtype=0

@FBM,

Good research FBM !

@Barry The Mod,

Thanks! Turns out it's pretty well known over here, but since its range is so limited it's not well described in the West, as far as I can tell. It has a pretty interesting life cycle: http://blog.daum.net/khjerng/17433089
