Unidentified, WTB Down Under?What might this be
October 18, 2009
Hi guys,
Been a while, hope all is well your end. Any ideas on this one? The front legs look mantid like. Is it a nymph stage of a mantis of some sort?

Unknown Australian Hopper
Hi Trevor,
Welcome back. This appears to be some species of immature hopper, possibly a Fulgoroid. The front legs remind us of Cicadas, but the head is different. We searched through many possibilities on the Geocities website of Australian Insects without luck. We haven’t the time to research the species as we are running late this morning, but perhaps one of our readers will be able to provide an answer.
