Aconophora compressa
Lantana Treehoppers (also known as Lantana sap-sucking bugs) are a well camouflaged species in the membracidae family. The insects are brown in colour and look like thorns on the host plant.
Although they naturally occur from Mexico to Columbia, they were introduced to NSW and Queensland in Australia to rid of the weed lantana (lantana pictured in the photo)
