Kangaroo Apple needs urgent help.

I have a Kangaroo Apple bush that has suddenly began wilting, with some leaves turning yellow also. I have noted that some leaves have holes in them but not that many you would think 'something is definately eating the plant', some have got 'leaf curl', but in general they are just wilting...! The soil is not that wet, but a good covering of pine mulch is down.
Today I found about a dozen green 1cm triangular bugs with pointy heads and small 2-3mm black bugs with a hard shiny carapice that jump like flees when you go to squash them..
Does anyone have ANY ideas or suggestions that may help..?
Cheers

I've had them, Drutah....Kangaroo apples.. arrive in my bush garden by seed, I presume, and flourish for a year or so, then turn yellow and disappear.
One I did see flourishing was at the Govt Bldgs, Stony Rise. D'port...covered in yellow 'apples' and had been there some time I believe. Sorry I can't help with the bugs...try hosing or some soapy water
