| Species: | Broad-winged Planthopper (Scolypopa australis)| This Photo: | Wing | Other name: | Passionvine Hopper | Thank you Alan Melville for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found in the Adelaide Hills and possibly elsewhere 1st Record in SA on Atlas: We don't know what it is, but insects with clear wings and black patterned edges just enthral us Marie saw this "moth" on the kitchen fly-screen. As soon as I saw it, straight into the insect box into the fridge. Didn't want to miss any important details. Thought it'd be easy to id; never having seen one, and being so unique. The only issue was the location component shows only the eastern seaboard.
