Fantastic!
So great to see a live photo of this species - much prettier than pinned specimens would suggest. This photo also depicts the typical form (Dennis Haines's pinned photo in the guide represents the
bifasciata
form, if you were wondering why that one has two white bands on the forewing while yours doesn't). Great find!
There are 3 other recognized Manzanita psyllids in CA - those species are recognizable in having whitish wings and sometimes a white pulverulence on the body. Keep an eye out for 'em.
