Achilid hopper

Achilidae

Description:

Very small hopper with distinctive wing venation and patterns.
About 5mm long.

Habitat:

In a local nature reserve on the leaves of silver wattle (Acacia dealbata)

Notes:

This family is very diverse in pattern and form. This one has a more flattened head than most others. The moat similar head shape I can find is Graeme Cocks' specimen here https://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:...
Similar colours and pattern are with Nick M's Ouwea doddi https://lifeunseen.smugmug.com/Insects/C...
