Psyllid nymphs

Schedotrioza sp.

Description:

These gall forming psyllid nymphs have heavily infested several trees. The nymphs with poorly formed features produce chemicals to stimulate the leaf to form a protective swelling (gall). The gall produced the adult winged psyllid seen in the last pic.
