		However, unlike scale coverings, the lerps are composed mostly of crystallized honeydew (the sugary fluid that homopteran insects excrete) and, in this case, resemble small, white, hemispherical caps that grow up to about 1/8 inch diameter and 1/8 inch tall.
		Redgum lerp psyllid in California is attacked by several natural enemies, but it's not currently known if these natural enemies are important in helping to control this pest.
		Birds are major predators of lerp psyllids in Australia and have been observed feeding on redgum lerp psyllids in California.

	09.10.2003 - Donald Dahlsten, leading expert in biological control and forest entomology, dies at 69
		BERKELEY – Donald Lee Dahlsten, a professor of insect biology at the University of California, Berkeley, whose work in biological control gave California officials a powerful weapon in their fight against a fast-spreading tree pest, died Wednesday, Sept. 3.
		The efficacy of the wasp against red gum lerp psyllid is still being evaluated, but it has thus far been most successful in the state's coastal areas.
		His other projects included research on how the methods used to control Pierce's Disease, which affects grapevines and is spread by the glassy-winged sharpshooter, impacted riparian habitats, and on the ecological impact of the Sudden Oak Death pathogen, a fungus-like algae that has killed tens of thousands of oak trees throughout the state.

		The red gum lerp psyllid (Glycaspis brimblecombei) is a sucking insect that causes waxy droppings and defoliation of eucalyptus trees.
		When fully formed in spring, the lerp is about 8 mm long, horn shaped, and tapering from about 0.5 to 4 mm wide and is yellow to pale brown.
		Research on the biology, distribution, and abundance of this psyllid is being conducted at UC Davis and UC Berkeley.

		Samples were taken and the insect was identified as the lerp psyllid (Glycaspis brimblecombei).
		The lerp is a protected structure where the nymph lives.
		However, since the area is infiltrated with this bug, the new growth may get several lerps, but as they feed on the tree, they take the chemical into their system and die before they have time to lay eggs.

		In biology, binomial nomenclature is a standard convention used for naming species.
		Their diet is omnivorous: they take a range of saps and exudates, lerps, and a high proportion of arthropods which they find under the loose bark of eucalypts: spiders, crickets, beetles, and the like.
		Plant exudates make up 80% of their energy intake, but the protein provided by the arthropods is essential for successful breeding.

	Psyllid biology and eucalypt defoliation
		This Agriculture Note provides advice on the biology of psyllids and their association with defoliation of native eucalypts in Victoria.
		For example, White lace lerp shows a strong preference for the closely related E. camaldulensis (river red gum) and E. blakelyi (Blakely's red gum), while red gum basket lerp is generally found only on E. camaldulensis.
		It is commonly thought that the lerp structure protects the psyllid insect from predation and desiccation during warm/hot weather.

		The photos show examples of 'lerps' which are protective coverings of sugar and carbohydrate exudates produced by the nymphs.
		Taylor (1962) described the species based on the slight difference of the lerp and the occurrence on different Eucalyptus host plants.
		As some Cardiaspina species cause conspicuous leaf necrosis during feeding, and in outbreak years heavily infested trees may die completely, the reproductive biology and population dynamics of this psyllid group is of broad ecological interest.

		Gleaning for lerp and hawking for insects comprised 35% and 5% of their foraging time, respectively.
		In both years nectar-feeding was highest in the morning and late afternoon and lowest in the middle of the day, when insect and lerp consumption peaked.
		The degree of flexibility in the foraging repertoire of the Regent Honeyeater is not unusual among Australian honeyeaters, although it indicates that different types of food and a broad range of plants, particularly mature eucalypts, have to be protected and properly managed to save this declining woodland bird.
