What is this insect from Brasil? ![Photo from SE Brazil Atlantic rainforest Oct 2017\[1\]]( SE Brazil Atlantic rainforest Oct 2017. I'm assuming this is an early stage of an insect. It was crawling around a tree in the moss and was about 6-7mm.

This is, indeed, a nymph) (what you called a young stage), but not from a cicada as you suspected: it's a nymph from a leafhopper, which are hemipterans from the Family Cicadellidae (cicadas are also hemipterans, but they belong to the Family Cicadidae). More specifically, this seems to be a sharpshooter), which are leafhoppers from the Tribe Proconiini.

Narrowing down to the Genus is more complicated, but I'd guess it is _Oncometopia_. Here is an image of _Oncometopia orbona_ for comparison:

This other image (also _Oncometopia orbona_ ) is even more similar to yours:
