The Lantana Treehoppers are also known as Lantana sap-sucking bugs. They are common in Brisbane but hardly be noticed. They camouflage very well. The insects are brown in colour and look like thorns on the host plant. Once we learnt how to recognize them, we find them on every stem of Lantana plants.

The superfamily Fulgoroidea contains large number of insects of very diverse forms. All of them are strong jumpers and commonly called Planthoppers. Their antennae situated beneath eyes. There is a unique character in this group: for all species, the base segment of the antenna is much thicker than the rest of the antenna. Wax plates common in females for producing wax to cover eggs. The nymphs usually have two long tails. Nymphs and adults are plant-feeders, feed by sucking the sap of the host tree.

The Mango Planthopper is creamy white with a small pink spot on centre of each wing. They have a triangular shape with a right angled corner. They are found on a range of plants, and are a pest in the mango industry. There are other similar species that are pale green in colour. When a number of planthoppers gather on the same stem they look like spines on the plant.
