Common Froghopper variants?

[Gerel]

Hi,

are these two more colour variants of the common froghopper (Philaneus spumaris) ?



Apologies for rubbish photos.

Hi Steve,

The pic on the left reminds me of one I had in 2006, it was hiding in a seed pod of Acacia dealbata, looking for all the world like the seeds with the split case except it was more brown than green! I was wondering at the time how such a thing could be here if it was specific to the tree, as it's not native and very few people grow it. It was also the first time it had flowered properly and made seeds.

Now I'm thinking these clever little bugs can imitate their surroundings as camouflage.
