This is a planthopper! They're harmless, and they use a waxy buildup on their bodies to prevent being eaten by predators. They can jump like nine feet, which would be like a human clearing the Golden Gate Bridge in a single jump. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EVLJChVV48
I remember a guy I went to school with when we were on a field trip to Africa, he had one of these jump onto him. That fluff caused a pimple like rash where it landed, and that was on his t shirt and not bare skin.
Wikipedia has its own special level of gobbledygook- “Flatidae are a family of fulgoroid planthoppers. They are cosmopolitan in distribution and are distinguished from others in the superfamily by a combination of characters. Like all other planthoppers…”

Yeah, that's some kind of waxy thing it makes. Had to Google for a long time to figure out what it was and why it looked like that.
