Gall forming psyllid and parasite

Description:

Green galls growing profusely on this eucalyptus open out like a flower when the bug is ready to vacate. The dissected gall reveals the tiny blind, wingless bug, and occasionally a wasp parasite. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/869...

Habitat:

Many thousands of these green galls are growing on two large old growth eucalyptus trees.

Notes:

Several galls contain a maggot type tenant (pic 4,5 & 6) possibly an ichneumon wasp that was spotted earlier. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/792...
