Hi Clive. In Australia Tea Tree is a common name for a wide variety of Melaleuca plants/trees. Because some were used medicinally by aboriginal people, and some were used to make a tea-like concoction by white settlers (in the absence of actual tea). What species do New Zealanders call 'tea tree'?

yeah that looks good from lori.tas

H Christiane and Argybee. I'm pretty sure it's a Mordellidae sp, just not sure which one.

Nice part of the country Christiane? Looks like a hopper maybe a bit like this http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_planthoppers/PulchraHopper.htm except that should be on eucalyptus.
