A leafhopper

[Richprins]

Thought it may be a new species!

I can not Id leafhoppers

[Richprins]

Medium moth, 2cm - Marloth

[Klipspringer]

I think the moth is one of tussock moths, likely the Bi-coloured Euproctis Euproctis bicolor. But there are dozens of yellow Euproctis species in South Africa

Klippies!

Adult moths of the subfamily Lymantriidae usually have muted colours (browns and greys), some are yellowish or white, and most of them are very hairy.
The larvae of the tribe Nygmiini, such as Euproctis, possess urticating setae that can be hazardous to human health
Lymantriinae stand out amongst Erebidae in having non-feeding adults.
Non-feeding moths tend to be short-lived and sexually dimorphic, with males searching for relatively static females calling with pheromone plumes; oviposition is in masses, with larvae aposematic or cryptic, often with urticating spines.
