No idea Vinny, just my best guess from the photos. I tried to see if one looked like a nymph of the other, but neither did. Plus both are fully winged, which implies fully adult. Some species have male and female who have different appearances, but again, I couldn't match them to your images.
Is it common for different species to hangout together?
Awesome! Thanks Lori
You appear to have two different species; the Mottled-brown Leafhopper (Bakeriana rubraand) on the left, and She-oak Leafhopper (Ipoides loranthae) on the right. Links: http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_... http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_...
