User's notes

These were the acacia leafhoppers I didn't clock at the time. I did wonder why there were ants all over this small bush, but just thought they must be able to suck the branches or something! So the pics aren't good. They blended in really well and looked like cut off leaves. I'm a bit disappointed because I haven't seen one for a while.
