Fungus hopper

Description:

Competing with an army of colembola this little bug nymph was on the underside of a plate fungus. About 3mm long.

Habitat:

Dry sclerophyl eucalyptus forest. Fungi was growing directly from a pile of sawdust but there could have been buried timber as well.

Notes:

Yet to search for this one...
Maybe the same here http://www.bowerbird.org.au/observations... Seems to have the same 'aristae' that is found on cixiids... but I am currently searching Issidae
