@MichaelMulvaney Hi Michael, I have long been confused as to the ID of these nymphs as they have been IDed to several species or genus. These should all be reviewed and moved back to Family as the experts say it is impossible to ID to Genus at this nmph stage. See the article on iNaturalist. https://www.inaturalist.org/journal/thebeachcomber/98004-eurybrachidae-especially-the-genus-platybrachys-identification-in-australia
