   Penthimiines are round squat insects. Adults have front wings reaching just to the end of the abdomen and usually slightly
    overlapping.   Leafhopper nymph     Vulturnus  sp., body length 5mm This little fellow looks like a Leafhopper nymph. It has a very flat
  body. It mimics the brown marking of the Acacia leaf. We did not notice this
  little fellow when we taking photos of a Acacia Leaf
  Beetle. We saw it on the photos only when we processing the beetle images
  on our computer. Those photos was taken during early summer. Dr.
    Murray Fletcher sent us email advised that this flat rounded one is probably a
     Vulturnus sp.
