Chewobrachys sanguiflua
" The new genus of Eurybrachidae Chewobrachys n. g. (Hemiptera, Fulgoromorpha) is described for two species from Eastern Australia, Platybrachys sanguiflua (Walker, 1858) and Chewobrachys limbourgi n. sp.
Etymology. The name is formed by the juxtaposition of Chew, in honour of Mr Peter Chew and his childrenTony and Sandy, whom I wish to thank for their contribution to a better knowledge of the life history of severalspecies of Eurybrachidae found around Brisbane (see also Constant 2005, 2006c), and brachys (Greek) = short, which is a common ending of generic names among the Eurybrachidae. Gender arbitrarily feminine following the use within the family."

This is a cool sunny winter day. We visited Bayside Parkland in Ransome the first time. Not much insects can be found. This Swamp Tiger Butterfly is the only large insect we saw. Still very happy.
Walked along the creek this afternoon. Met a real photographer Gordon. He also like to take insect photos.
In the time of the season, the Brisbane Bush is dominated by the Caper White Butterflies.
