Need more information, there are a huge number of bugs out there and you 
haven't narrowed it down much at all.

What do they look like? Size?  Shape?  Colour?  Legs?  Wings? Noise?  Smell?

What do they sit on?

What effect do they have on plants?

He's posting from that awful 'banter' forum...

Oh, I didn't notice that, I assumed in this NG (unlike rec.gardens for 
instance) they were from Oz, silly me.

The fact that so many vague and unanswerable questions come from there is 
bad enough.  That when prompted they almost never provide any further 
details has me totally mystified.  Perhaps they are a group of refugees from 
alt.gardening.mindreaders  ;-)

They certainly know nothing about Usenet...

It has nothing to do with the poster.  It's GardenBanter ("A web gateway 
to the finest gardening newsgroups") - this is from one of their FAQs:

What happens when I post on this forum?
This forum is a mirror of a collection of Usenet newsgroups. Usenet is 
made up of thousands of news servers all over the world. When you post 
your message, it is distributed to these news servers where people will 
connect to their own local news server via a News reader and be able to 
read your message. Once your message is posted, even if it is deleted 
from this forum, copies of your message will still exist on other news 
servers around the world permanently. This distributed posting system is 
Usenet's main strength however it should be noted that once the post is 
made it is impossible to ever completely delete it.

It also picks up new posts in Usenet groups and adds these to its forum 
(these appear as "external usenet poster").under the poster's name, 
whereas a new post directly in GardenBanter has "Registered user" under 
the poster's name.  This information does not appear in the Usenet group 
in which the post is repeated).

The problem is the random nature of the group which GardenBanter selects 
on Usenet to put postings made to its forum.  It started with 
uk.rec.gardening, then added rec.gardens, and now seems to have added 
aus.gardens.  Crazy - no rhyme or reason.

There are also other similar forums such as DIYBanter.  There are 
probably many others.
