- Penthimiin Leafhopper nymph

- Vulturnus sp., body length 5mm
- This little fellow looks like a Leafhopper nymph. It has a very flat body. It mimics the brown marking of the Acacia leaf. We did not notice this little fellow when we taking photos of a Acacia Leaf Beetle. We saw it on the photos only when we processing the beetle images on our computer. Those photos was taken during early summer. Dr. Murray Fletcher sent us email advised that this flat rounded one is probably a Vulturnus sp.
