User's notes
The images appear to show a mixture of eggs, white nymphs and green winged adults. The nymphs and adults appear to be giving off sugary secretions. The white nymph in the final image was approximately 3 mm in body length, not including the white filaments. Thanks to Marcus Leach for the initial sighting of these tiny insects.
