Passion fruit hopper

Passion fruit hopper

The adults look like moths. They have see-through wings with brown patches. If they are disturbed, they jump away quickly. Their mouths pierce the leaf and suck out the sap. The nymphs have white tufts of fine hair. Like the adults they have a 'beak' for sucking sap, and hop if disturbed.
