I have noticed these tiny ‘hoppers’ when working in the garden before. They are around the size of a match head or a biro tip and seem harmless sitting on the underside of leafs of the two Choisyaternata shrubs I have in my garden.
They are the Passion Vine Hopper, Scolypopa australis once restricted to Australia, the passionvine hopper was introduced to New Zealand over 100 years ago.
It occurs in our warmer areas - Northland and Auckland districts, around much of the North Island coast, and in Nelson and Marlborough, even into the Buller.
This is the Nymphs stage of the lifecycle and they grow from 1 mm to 5 mm as they pass through five instars, or growth stages. This specimen was at the 5 mm end of the scale.
They are pale with brown markings, and have a tuft of white waxy filaments on the abdomen which they move up and down rather like a peacock's tail fan. Nymphs lack functional wings, but wing buds appear during development, and are quite large in the last instar. Like adults they have a 'beak' for sucking sap, and hop if disturbed.
Both nymphs and adults suck sap from tender stems and shoots. Despite their common name, passionvine hoppers feed on a great variety of exotic and native plants as well as the passionfruit vine. These include tutu, citrus, kiwifruit, hydrangea, privet, tecomaria, jasmine, wisteria, New Zealand flax, and various ferns.

This tiny baby mantis must have recently hatched. It was only about 2 cm long. We helped her get back to the tall beach grass.

I found these tiny crickets about 1cm long under some bark. Like all cricket, they are very territorial. The little one is a male nymph. This photo was stacked and taken at larger than 1:1. The little guy caused the male to chirp but ran off straight after. I brushed him in from another photo. I wanted this pic for document purposes. I never knew they existed....they are so small and so hard to see among the rotting leaves.

My friend,Tom at www.flickr.com/photos/tomjaynes/5567622205/WT'Sphotos,has posted a beautiful pink Dogwood,which he says is "scrawny'. Well this is a sprig of my scrawny white Dogwood. I 've babied it ever since we've lived here,and it was looking healthier until strong winds caused from one of the hurricanes a few years back pushed it up by the roots. Lee pulled it back straight,and tied it off with a rope,but it's never quite been the same.
Like Tom said about his,I can't bring myself to replace it.
It bears the marks of my Saviour,and that's what I think of every time I see it sprout it's tiny little blooms.
I brought this sprig inside,and used a lamp and my tripod to get this shot.

I worked really hard on this, did probably the most photoshop I have in years to one image. Hope you all like it.
View On Black Trust me it's worth it. :)
These oak pieces were originally cut as blanks for nalbinding needles. There are 4 or 5 more waiting for me in the shop, so these 4 got put together as a practice tiny loom. I used my nalbinding needle to weave the weft through..worked like a charm. I must say the screws don't hold too well and allow the loom to try to fold up.. but it was enough to let me know that I wanted to make the bigger one...
