General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA), the Adelaide Hills and elsewhere The instar we caught was ~14mm long. The adults get a lot larger. The name refers to the fact they suck the juices out of the new growth of Eucalyptus trees, which then wilt and brown off. | |||||
