sometime Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Lately I seem to have lots of these little flies on the new palms I have growing. Anyone know what they are and if they are a problem in the garden. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtreelove Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I don't recognize it. It may be a psyllid (sucking insect like aphid). If you don't see any associated discoloration or leaf distortion associated with the presence of this critter, then it may not be a problem. Many insects co-exist with plants with neutral or beneficial effects in the ecosystem. I have forwarded to a Thai entomologist for ID. Waiting on reply.
