Field Notes

Description:

Bright green flying insect with clear wings about 5mm long. It looks like its wing is broken as you'll see in the video.

Habitat:

Landed on a paper plate outside. They're the cause of the destruction of our Red Gum Eucalyptus leaves visible at: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7159296
