Field Notes

Habitat:

Part of a group of bugs feeding on this new growth nocturnally.

Notes:

A sapling had grown from the roots (I cannot remember the name for that) and provided about a sparse cubic metre of sweet new growth where there was a fly, a Eucalyptus tip-wilter bug, several generation of Eucalyptus Tip-wilter bug nymphs, caterpillars, ants and more

Coreidae, Coreinae, Amorbini and Amorbus sp.. In my eyes not Amorbus alternatus. Antennae are complitely different in both, adults and nymphs. In the link you will find more detailed information: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/1478496013 http://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/showimage/1473/ Stephen, here you have it correct: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/16885470 Please, compare it with the antennae from the one above.
