    Nice find Geoff, those little hoppers come in all shapes colours and sizes.
    They have very weird shaped heads.

    I'm surprised the Robber let you get that close without flying off.

    Well Done clap.gif .... Skippy :D

    Thanks for the comments folks. Much appreciated.
    Skip - The Robbers seem failry common around here, I see at least 3 or 4 every time I go out. Generally speaking I don't seem to have a problem getting nice and close with my 60mm.
    Brian - Thanks for the confirmation of the ID's.
    Steve - The first 2 are on the trunk of a Sugar Gum, the third is on sand.
