Commius elegans
This one has a heart. Happy valentines day!!!
On Cherry Ballart (Exocarpos cupressiformis) together with nymphs and probable eggs.
I found the nymph together with the adults which solved an earlier ID mystery of two similar nymphs; http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/123... http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/169... They are found along the east coast of Aaustralia. http://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:b...

And thanks Leanne
Thanks Leuba.
I am confident yours are Commius elegans, the same as mine.
What a perfect find for Valentine's Day ! The adults are attractive.
Martin, I am so pleased that you've sorted the ID for this one. Could you please have a look at my spotting (also on Cherry Ballart)

and let me know if they are Commius elegans nymphs. Thanks.
How cool! Happy Valentines Day Martin :)
