Passionvine Hopper

Scolypopa australis

Description:

Hopper to 8mm body length. Very common in the area. On nightfall they congregated on the underside of leaves to stay out of the weather.

Habitat:

In shaded valley of Te Mata, New Zealand

Notes:

Like all planthoppers they suck plant sap. This leaves a honeydew secretion which bees gather. They are also known to cause honey poisoning
