I assume this is a leafhopper adult (right) & instar (left)?

The ID is for the Acacia mealy bug on the left.
Can you please put in a separate sighting for the leafhopper, which looks like Sextius virescens.

Thanks @michaelb, I've made a separate sighting for the leafhopper. Any clue what the tiny insects on the stem are?

Hi kdm
I don't know what the tiny insects on the stem are but maybe someone else does.

Could they be Pulvinaria scale insects, similar to sighting 4201381? The size and shape look a bit similar.
