User's notes
I was a bit unsure when I saw the first one on its own - surely it can't be a horned leafhopper - never seen it on anything except for Red Leafed Wattle. Never a Black Wattle. I gave it a gentle poke and angry ants swarmed so I took photos. Later I could see there were others but they were tiny and hard to see.
