Thanks Kimkiu, I found this bug in Alphington - I had never seen one before either and was lucky enough to get a few shots before it hid back under the leaf.
Thanks for all your ID's Martin. Those eggs are amazing. So will this nymph loose it's pretty pink bits when it becomes an adult?
Very nice. This link shows a spotting of eggs and early instar nymph.
Yours is the final nymph before adulthood
