Clam lerp (lerp #25)
-37.4867, 144.59
Field Notes
Description:
This snowy white clam lerp contained the nymph of a psyllid. The shape seems unusually undifferentiated as most have distinctive eyes and wing buds in late instars. The lerp is unusual in containing a chamber housing the largest nymph.
The younger instars evident under the same lerp are more clearly differentiated. The larger one seems to occupy a central chamber.
Habitat:
On the leaf of a eucalyptus.
Notes:
I wonder if the smaller instars will take over this position when the large psyllid insect leaves?
