in fact, the Homoptera do not exist anymore as a taxon. It has been split into Sternorrhyncha, Auchenorrhyncha and Coleorrhyncha. Even the Auchenorrhyncha may be split up eventually, because the group appears to be paraphyletic.
I'm not a specialist but Davide and Vladimir seem to have got it right.
There are many species in the genus and I am no expert but I believe this to be Ricania taeniata, a widespread one in the region.

Within the Hemiptera order, it belong to the Ricaniidae family
Rice production? I'm not a specialist in the Hemiptera Order but most likely Ricania taeniata Stal (Ricaniidae).
Follow the first link (of British Museum Natural History London)......and follow the steps after the slash....otherwise just paste the last link........you can also upload pics in various entomology groups.....http://www.nhm.ac.uk/...http://www.nhm.ac.uk/research-curation/index.html..............http://www.nhm.ac.uk/research-curation/scientific-resources/collections/index.html....http://www.nhm.ac.uk/research-curation/scientific-resources/collections/entomological-collections/entomology-specimen-database/index.php
its belongs to the order Hemiptera, the family of Ricaniidae
Thanks guys! Much obliged. I was doing genetic diversity studies about upland rice and i found this insect
Yes, others are right it belongs to order Hemiptera and family of Ricaniidae
Just as a side note hemiptera and homoptera is now combined into heteroptera. Just saying. I concur with everyone else on this one.

Your right Christiaan I haven't been keeping up with the newest changes.
First of all I confirm the post of Christiaan Kooyman - the Homoptera taxon does not exist. In order to know what species it is (or might be) you should contact Dr. Adam Stroiński ([email protected]) of the Polish Academy of Science; you can reach him also through the ResearchGate.
HI! If you want you can contact Ms. Shirley Yap of the Entomology Department, CPC, UP Los Banos. I think it's her current dissertation.
Hi justine! How do i contact her? I am from uplb too- genetics
This must be a hemipteran insect (sap sucking group), most likely Fulgoridae or leaf hopper (Cicadellidae).
Yes, Adam is right.
just follow the link: http://www.natureloveyou.sg/Minibeast-Hopper/Ricania%20taeniata/Main.html
Hi Sorry for the very late reply. She's teaching in UPLB so maybe you can contact her through our department's line +63-49-536-2351
