some of these were very tiny like 5mm others were 1cm and stood out a little more on the silver wattle leaves. They were all greener than I remember from last year. Different season? or different species.

thanks Alison. Not used to seeing so many. And I'm pretty sure I normally sight them after christmas too. Not so much in spring.
