Hi Kurt
Thanks for your contribution/photo. I have downloaded the original photo, cropped it and added it back to aid in identification.

Thanks, much appreciated! I saw several of them crawling around borers holes and also that other bug with wings in my other sighting. Should I just catch some next time for identification? Cheers, Kurt.

Hi Kurt.
It would be good if you could just crop your photos so we can see the detail better.

Kurt I think i gave you the wrong information previously - I now think this is infact an earlier nymph stage of the same Harlequin Bug that you saw on the same tree and had originally, probably correctly. included as the one sighting
