Thanks for looking and commenting Toby and Fernando :)

Toby- yes the psyllid was on the car (as usual) but was walking near the rain gutter bit so I was able to get slightly more interesting angles.

Wow, you still have bugs in your garden?
I need to start looking at plants more often.

Yes- the springtails like lower temps, but tend to get a few bugs here all year as long as it's not a complete freeze-over (rare)
