Spur-legged Planthoppers - Family Delphacidae

Order Hemiptera 

This page contains pictures and information about Spur-legged Planthoppers in family Delphacidae that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia. 
 
Planthoppers in this family Delphacidae are from small to medium size. They can be distinguished from other planthopper families that they have a large movable spur at the apex of hind tibia.
