Mosaic leafhopper (Dead) - Orientus ishidae

I found this leafhopper wrapped in spider silk and stuck to a wall near my moth light. There was no web or spider in sight. I found several other insects wrapped in silk and stuck to various spots along this wall as well. All were, obviously, dead.

This leafhopper has a variable, mosaic-like pattern and an orange band between its eyes.
