Red Gum Psyllid and Lerp

I used the IC IPM website to identify this as a red gum psyllid (Glycaspis brimblecombei). I didn’t see any on What’s That Bug?, so I thought this would make a good addition.
Oh, did I kill him by removing the lerp?

Dear Fel,
Thanks so much for sending us your photo.  We don’t know much about the invasive, exotic Red Gum Lerp Psyllid.  We did find a nice UC Riverside Center for Invasive Species Fact Sheet on the species.
