Pachypsylla sp is not in Australia.
I am confident that you have Schedotrioza sp which can look like this http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/114... or this
http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/144... or this http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/178... (the gall, not the orthopteran.
Would they be Pachypsylla sp? Checking if this species is in Australia
I.cook, thanks again for your help and correction. Much appreciated.
These galls belong to a psyllid, not an eriococcid scale insect.
