| Strophingia
ericae Family: Aphalaridae One of the smallest of all psyllids, belonging to a group lacking genal cones. It has much reduced wing venation, and is unlikely to be mistaken for any other species except the rarer S. cinereae, which has a more angular forewing. Most other small psyllids also have significantly longer antennae. Common and widespread on Calluna vulgaris across Britain. Adult: April-September Length 1-2 mm |
