the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.

new shoots of Eucalyptus trees. They usually found feeding on
new shots of gum trees during sunny days. This spices is not as common as
other Amorbus species in Brisbane.

orange and black.

late summer. We are not sure if those young bugs are the nymphs of this
species.
