More likely to be Green Faced Leaf Hopper: Platybrachys decemmacula
Green Face Gum Hoppers are brown in colour. On the head there is the large and flat frons which is yellowish green to bright green. All legs are brown with three black spines on hind legs. Forewings are brown with white dotted marks. There are five dark blue spots along the outer edge of forewings, three on the fore border and two at the tip with the third smaller than the others. There are also a row of short parallel cross-veins along the fore border. Hind-wings are blackish in colour and paler near the wing base.
