Eucalyptus hoppers

[Morpheus uk]

While visiting a garden centre i nicked a bit of eucalyptus from the front of the shop for my madagascan stick insects. It was only after that i noticed very tiny but stunning bug nymphs, they are very small and are black and yellow patterned, anyone know what they are?

The nymphs seem to produce a sort of messy wax and the they have started to moult to adult but i didnt manage to get a photo, they are yellow bodied and winged with a black thorax i think.

They look like weird ticks, or something.

Not sure on the genus or even the species, but they appear to be in the "plant bug" group (like leaf hoppers for example)

Yes that is correct. There is a list of distributers on Korys website, but the 40 bu. hoppers are new and not many stores have much in stock so I just wanted to share with everyone where I got mine and that they have more in stock.
