User's notes

Difficult to photograph this active little insect which was constantly on the move and frequently taking to the air to move around the tree trunk. Assumed to be a Hopper. Thanks to Marcus Leach for the initial sighting.

This is a hopper, Tim, I think a Kahaono sp.

Thanks Bron. I haven't seen this insect before and was wondering if it's a Graphocephala sp. leafhopper? Tim

Hi Tim I think that Graphocephala sp. are found in North (and maybe South) America, not in Australia... I might be mistaken.
