Have you ever noticed this little one on your gums? Commonly known as a sugar lerp or curly lerp. The white part you see is actually a sugary secretion crafted into a little crystal palace which protects the little psyllid from sun and some predators that lives underneath. This is usually hard to spot as it’s often too high up in the gum trees for us to notice or it’s controlled by the nectar feeding birds enjoy this sweet delight for dinner! #natureisamazing #zanthorreanursery #lerp #psyllid #birdfood #gumleaves

These little insects were lurking inside a gall on a sugarberry tree. They’re hackberry petiole gall psyllid and form galls on the petiole of leaves of a variety of hackberries, including sugarberry. Their eggs are laid inside the petiole, then the plant forms the gall around the insects. So cool! #eenc #northcarolina #centralnc #raleigh #prairieridgeecostation #gall #psyllid #hackberrypetiolepsyllidgall #insect #bug

New clues to how the bacteria associated with #citrusgreening infect the only insect that carries them could lead to a way to block the microbes’ spread from tree to tree, according to a study in Infection and Immunity by BTI's Heck Lab and scienctists at the USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS).

Be careful of these little nightmares out in your garden, the Tomato Potato psyllid can cause a big mess on the leaves and vector a bacterial infection which can kill or stunt the growth of your plants. Plants to watch out for include tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, egg plants and tamarillos. #psyllid #ttp #nztomatoes #chillies

Some old lerp damage from previous psyllids on the leaves of this individual. It might be all part of the ecosystem, but it doesn't mean I have to like it. I want nice clean leaves for my analysis. Thanks, psyllids. Make your sugary homes somewhere else. Stop sucking on my leaves. #lerp #eucalyptus #yarra #yarraensis #insect #psyllid #sugar #cover #leaf #sample #fieldwork #ecosystem #australia #victoria #aussienative #phd #phdlife
