    Yikes! Looks just like the Red gum Lerp Psyllid infesting California, Florida, Hawaii & Arizona Eucalyptus.

    "In California, high psyllid populations on susceptible
    Eucalyptus species have resulted in withering and
    dropping of the leaves along with dieback and death
    of weakened trees. Dahlsten (2000) "
    "After its initial discovery in California, red gum lerp psyllid was found in Baja California, Mexico in 2000, Florida and Hawaii in 2001, Mauritius 2001, South America in 2002, and Portugal and Spain in 2007"
