User's notes

a young gum was playing host to these mating bugs. this pair was the first I saw. The male has a brilliant green underside, the female pale yellow. the colour of their back and shape of legs made them very hard to see. They looked like branches and leaves. This pair were in the sunlight so easier to see.
