“The psyllid is the nymph of a species of Acizzia. The scale-like ‘extrusion’ (I’m assuming it’s scale-like, others have a powdery covered honeydew ‘sac’ secretion) is excreted waste material from the ‘anal pores’. The nymphs have to feed on a very watery phloem, so there is a large amount of carbohydrate waste that is generated in order to feed on enough phloem to get sufficient amount of protein for growth (if this secretion is solidifying it comprises the ‘lerp’ of lerp-formers, if not solidifying it is secreted as honeydew).”
