Trioza anceps is a hemipteran insect belonging to the Psyllidae family. This small insect, commonly known as a psyllid, goes through several stages in its development: egg, five nymphal instars and adult. Adult females lay their eggs in the young tissue of avocado plants, especially young leaves. The nymphs emerge from the eggs and feed on plant sap using their sucking mouthparts. During feeding, nymphs excrete a sugary substance called honeydew, which can attract sooty mold fungi. The adults, after passing through all the nymphal stages, fly to other host plants to continue the cycle. The activity of Trioza anceps can persist throughout the year in suitable climates, favoring its spread and survival.
