Hello, i have a weird looking species living on my lemon tree. this tree is homegrown and really young, not even 2 years old. This "thing" lives always on top on the smallest leaves, and if its keeps growing he always goes for the freshest leaves. Still, that thing doesnt eat it up, at least i dont see it eating at all. That weird crushed black thing is just a fruit fly, i was interested if they gonna eat it, because i thought it might be sort of a spider. at the bottom right on the leave lies the old skin of that thingy. the white thing seems like the younger one of those two guys. i have some more even smaller white guys like them living on the other leave. i tried to get rid of them, and it seems like they can "jump". but they dont go far away. as soon as i place the lemon tree outside again, it seems like they get attracted by it. they will be stuck there again on the same place over and over again. i live in germany for those who are interested in my location.
