| Psylla
buxi Boxwood
Psyllid Family: Psyllidae A distinctive green psyllid with an orange abdomen tip, pinkish edges on the post-pronotum, and a dark collar; note the dimorphism in colouring between male and female shown here. It occurs only on box trees, and can be a pest in the USA, although seldom serious. Widespread in the UK, and locally common; its distribution is largely dictated by the host plant. Compare Spanioneura fonscolombii Adult: ? Length 2.5 mm |
