User's notes

These tiny Psyllid nymphs, which were between 1 and 2mm length, were sighted deep within Acacia genistifolia flowers, initially visible as black dots. Some have pollen grains attached to them. Thanks to Marcus Leach for the initial sighting and to Roger Farrow for associated information and identification.
