    I work at a local greenhouse and a customer brought in this insect to be identified. It is smaller that an aphid and seems to be fairly flat. It looks like it has wings but not real sure. The insects had completely devoured a shrub and were starting on his lawn. Hope someone can help me. Thanks, Nana IMG_8894 (2).JPG

    These look like sucking insects to me. Maybe psyllids.

    That could be. But if you notice the first photo has a dandelion leaf that has been eaten! Nana
