Potato or Tomato Psyllid |
Adult Potato or Tomato Psyllid (Paratrioza cockerelli). Immature nymphs suck juices of plant tissues, producing toxic effects on plant growth. This species feeds not only on potatoes and tomatoes but also on eggplants, peppers, and tomatillos. Adults, also called jumping plant lice, resemble tiny cicadas and jump and fly quickly when disturbed. (Paratrioza cockerelli) |
