Psyllids on Eucalyptus sapling. Although these are common in the Canberra region, I could not find an exact match on the internet.
An ID would be nice if you know what it is.
See the psyllid just above the dew drop is extruding a bubble of excreta. This is highly nutritous and forms an important part of the diet of ants. This was taken early in the morning, and the ants were just beginning to crawl up the stems of the saplings.
