Acacia Horned Treehopper - Sextius virescens
This page contains pictures and information about Acacia Horned Treehoppers that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.
- Body length 5mm
- This Treehopper is green in colour with two small brown horns. They just rest motionless on stems. They camouflage well and hardly be seen unless we come very close.
- Pictures were taken in Yugarapul Park during early summer. There were a group of Treehoppers found on a young Acacia tree. Those Treehoppers were constantly attended by ants.
