Common Jassid
Dear Robin,
We believe we have correctly identified your Leafhopper (not Beetle) as a Common Jassid, Eurymela fenestrata, thanks to the Brisbane Insect site where it states: “Common Jassid is one of the largest size leafhopper in the Eurymelinae. We sometimes call them Large Gum-treehoppers, The adult is brown and dark violet under sunlight. There are some white spots on its wings. Nymph has the reddish-brown body with black markings. Gum-leafhopper sometimes called Jassid because they were classified as family Jassidae before, then now the family Cicadellidae.“
