Various stages of these Hoppers. The Coconut Ants were eating the excretions. All on the same sapling.

@JonLewis Jon, Do coconut ants tend leafhoppers? I've not noted this before.

Hi Alison, yes, we have seen coconut ants attending leaf-hoppers before at various locations. Any source of honeydew is welcome! Cheers, Jon

Hi Jon, I suppressed the location due to the Coconut Ants but i assume that moderators can see location?

Thanks @AlisonMilton, i know the ants ( But i think are Hairy ) i was after id on the Hoppers :)

Whoops sorry, I got distracted. I'll take a look at the hoppers but they may be too early in their development. I've undone the ID on the ants.

Hi rawshorty, maybe because I am not a moderator for leaf-hoppers I can't see the location. Is it a new location or a previously reported spot?

PS: rawshorty, you are right that it is the undescribed "hairy" species of Papyrius.
