Found on my indoor egg plant. I also have aphids, spider mites, and psyllids on it, and am hoping it's a predator like a ladybug larva but the colours are wrong. It's about 6 mm long. Found in New Zealand.

As Lfppfs said it seems to be a nymph of planthopper, Dictyonissus griphus.
This website has more pictures. If you are interested you can find fully formed (matured) Dictyonissus griphus.

$\begingroup$ It usually has a long fibrous white tail, as you might have seen from the rest of the pictures I linked. I wonder what might have happened to its tail. $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 29, 2016 at 10:47

The photo isn't very good, but I'm almost sure that's a hemipteran (a planthopper, leafhoppter, depends on the type of hemipteran, I can't say). And it seems to be a nymph (a imature individual).
