Steve's Farm - A Sap Sucking Bug - Cairns, Australia
Steve is a good friend of ours who owns a sugar cane farm right in Cairns. On a visit a month ago I took some photos. Here is a sap sucking bug at work - note the sucking tube into the stem. This was on some plant growing in a small creek/drain that makes its way to the Barron River. I have never seen this particular bug before. Totally new to me. It has back legs a bit like a cricket.
