Family Eurybrachyidae
size about 2 - 2.5 mm
found it roaming on my Dianthus (reminds me to spray insecticide)
Order: HemipteraSuperfamily: FulgoroideaFamily: Eurybrachyidaehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurybrachyi...Hi Rj, for the most part I'm happy if I get the family correct, there are many experts on PN, I'm not one of them, hope someone can assist further.
Looks a lot like the Platybrachys video from encyclopedia of life. Aren't they exclusive to Australia?
Thanks Rob. brilliant! Thats the one!!
Hi RjFamily Eurybrachyidae (nymph)http://www.whatsthatbug.com/wp-content/u...http://malcolmtattersall.com.au/wp/wp-co...https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5494/1130...http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8448/80107...and my own spottinghttp://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/402...
Thanks Machi, you r right about its legs. not a spider then. The end with the antennae is its front. I have a video of it running around my planter, - will upload it.
I don't think its a spider. Six legs, two eyes... it looks a bit like a hopper
