Heterotrioza chenopodii - Teneral imago During our holiday I had taken a leaf of a plant because there was a leaf mine in it. When I checked a few days later I noticed this adult Psyllid and on closer inspection some tiny nymphs as well. I don&#039;t think these were related to the mine, but still a nice docu.  <br />
Being that the picture below shows the only exuviae is saw on the leaf I&#039;m suggesting that this teneral imago came from that:<br />
