Clam lerp

Cardiaspina sp.

Description:

A clam lerp created by a psyllid bug. I have lifted one lerp to expose the small hemiopteran bug inside. These lerps are easily located by the typical discoloration they cause on the leaves.

Notes:

This other one is quite similar. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/909...

I think I should have called this a basket lerp or a lace lerp.. http://www.lifeunseen.com/index2_item_12...
