I thought there was a speck of dirt on a leaf but then I realised that it was a White Lace Lerp. It appeared to be staying still on the leaf.

I've put this up as Psyllidae. Needs more work to confirm genus and species, if it is possible.

Hi Kim, Thanks for that identification, I completely understand. Sorry, no other photos of the insect and I only have a 1x macro lens so I couldn't get any closer shots. All the best
