| Dang....I was hoping that someone would have ID 'd this by now. I think that I recognize the little guy but just can't think of it. It's not any kind of a fly, so not a fruit fly or leaf miner. It's not a moth, so it's not the Citrus Leaf Miner. It's not a winged aphid nor a parasitoid that I've ever seen. I'm not sure that I would keep spraying them in the event that they are Any ideas, anyone? |

| Perhaps a psocid? If so, not a problem. |
|
| there are also ants on tree now, so maybe some sort of aphid ? they are size of aphid, i know picture makes it look kinda big. thank for help guys. |
|
| well i googled psocid and pretty sure thats what they are. I killed innocent little bugs. oh, well i,m sure there will be more of them ;) . Thank you guys for helping out. by the way my dekopon fruits are now already pea size and dark green, so hopefully they set. |

| If ants are running up & down, you'd be wise to look for scale insects. |
