Aphids, Scale Insects, Leafhoppers, and Tree HoppersID help, nymph in NZ
Aloha,
I have had this image for several years, and have not been able to ID. Obviously a nymph, very small, photo is approx 1:1 mag. on 35mm slide. Several of these insects were found on a plant, along a stream, Whangarei, North Island, New Zealand. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Don,
This is a Homopteran, Scolypopa australis, the Passionvine Hopper.
