White jumping insect

HKHussy
11 years ago

Hello, I'm in Hong Kong (no helpful forums like this here!).

I have a tiny little white jumping insect on my passionfruit and lemon tree. I'm not sure if that's just because they're right next to each other, or if this bug has a preference for passionfruits and lemons...

Can someone identify it for me and tell me if I should leave them alone to look pretty, or if I should get rid of them fast!

    Do you have pictures from a different angle? If so, please post those.

    I'm thinking in terms of some kind of psyllid larvae, but would like to see any other photos, if possible.
