Asian Citrus Psyllid

I am a small, but dangerous insect. I live in your citrus trees and carry a deadly citrus disease called Huanglogbing. Stop me and save your citrus tree!

Some call me a hitchhiker because I can hitch a ride on plant material and travel all over the world. Lately I've been making my way up CA!

Fall is here! You can find me hanging out in your citrus tree's new growth this time of year. Yum!! #citrus #ACP

It's almost Fall! This time of year, you'll find me laying eggs in new growth (flush) on your citrus tree!

One of my cousins was caught in a shipment of Mexican limes in Arizona this week. They call us "hitchhikers" for a reason!

This is not good news for me.... @CaCitrusMutual @mikegatto @CitrusThreat

@CitrusThreat Wow! I have friends all over Southern California...and Mexico too!

Looks like more of my #ACP friends are traveling West....Asian citrus psyllid pest spreads in Arizona http://t.co/SbnbjKj5aM via @farmpress

There are more residential #citrus trees than commercial citrus trees in #California! Which is why you'll find me mostly in sunny #SoCal!

[Asian Citrus Psyllid @AsianCitrusPest]

Border inspection stations are the first line of defense against critters like me! Watch this video all about it! http://t.co/tsTdkG0W

WOW I have ACP cousins all over Mexico...and HLB friends too...and so close to California. Check out this picture

The FL #orange crop is down 3% due to #HLB. By checking your trees for me, the #AsianCitrusPsyllid, you can stop HLB from killing CA citrus

@CitrusThreat There sure is a lot of citrus here in California!

[Asian Citrus Psyllid @AsianCitrusPest]

I'm getting pretty famous here in California - they've even created an entire website about me! http://t.co/wwLITZm2

As you drive through #California, notice the beautiful citrus trees. They’re at risk of disappearing, but you can help: http://t.co/iZINTYk0

It may be chilly, but a little cold weather won't stop me or my friend #Huanglongbing from getting your citrus trees!
