Yes adult and nymphs at various stages. Do you happen to know what plant they were feeding on does not look like a Brachychiton

@MichaelMulvaney I'll get the plant's identification plate details next time I'm there, Michael. Looking back through NatureMapr's records, these insects have been in situ on this plant for years now.
