Critter of the Week: The Hobbit Psyllid

You might find this tiny critter in a kowhai tree near you. The hobbit psyllid takes its scientific name from Frodo Baggins as both are smaller than their relations. It's also found in the South Island where 'Frodo' spent a lot of time filming Peter Jacksons' Lord of the Rings trilogy.
