Ceraon vitta
A small dark brown tree hopper with two truncated pronotal horns. The dark tented wings had a wave-like pale pattern.
Spotted on black wattle ( Acacia mearnsii) in a nature reserve - Police Paddocks.
Also called thorn bugs, these hoppers mimic thorns on branches of trees with their pronotum drawn into various shapes for either camouflage or mimicry.
