In my innocence I photographed this Planthopper in the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney, having no idea of what it was. This morning, 14 months later, I identified it and found that it is a species from Queensland which has somehow been introduced to the bot. gardens, and which is apparently the only place in NSW where it can be seen.

Occasionally large groups of these Bugs are found. These were in a suburban street not far from Bondi Beach
