Caught this fella as I was walking to the park. The pretty colours attracted me....

Definately seems to be the right genus. Not so sure of species, as the forewing marginal markings appear slightly different. This could, of course, just be local variation.

Not moth but a Treehopper, likely to be the Ricaiid hopper (Ricanula stigmatica)
