• Acizzia acaciaebaileyanae

  Acizzia acaciaebaileyanae is a psyllid species specialized on Acacia baileyana, a widely planted ornamental acacia. Native to Australia, it has spread globally through human transport of its host plant. Despite forming dense populations, it has been observed not to cause visible damage to the host. The species exemplifies inadvertent introduction of specialist herbivores via horticultural trade.
