Field Notes
Description:
Hopper to 8mm body length. Very common in the area. On nightfall they congregated on the underside of leaves to stay out of the weather.
Habitat:
In shaded valley of Te Mata, New Zealand
Notes:
Like all planthoppers they suck plant sap. This leaves a honeydew secretion which bees gather. They are also known to cause honey poisoning
