User's notes

Unsure what this is so I initially placed it under 'Beetles.' It now appears that it might be a Thrip. It was sighted on the side of a Eucalypt, adjacent to a Hopper, as seen in the final image. There was no interaction between the two insects.

Interesting Tim. A wild guess - perhaps a thrip?

Hi Bron. Possibly Thysanoptera?

Hi Tim
You could try
"All Thrips (Thysanoptera) sightings"
There's no obvious matching one there, but it's worth a try - I hope you can solve this one.
