Colleagues had already talked about this relatively new arrival in the Mackenzie Basin. I'd noticed large numbers of german wasps in the willow trees along the Ohau River and inspection of the trees showed colonies of this very attractive aphid.

Looks like a large Aphid type bug, about 1cm long. Found on rock with quite a few others under willow trees along Ruamahunga River on fine day. Wouldn't stop moving to take a proper close up with my phone. I think they're whats leaving drops all over my windscreen, thought it was cicada's but were none of them around.

Member of aphid family. Quite large, body generally black, abdomen seems to have two raised pimple-like structures just short of the rear end which may confirm this ID?? This is not part of an infestation on the property, there are no willows within 100's of metres of observation site. The damaged wing may explain why it was visiting.
