Northants garden. Size slightly under 2mm.

Never seen anything like this one?

Two cuties there Bruce! I got pics of a tiny one with an orange spot on it's back, it was about 1.5mm but hadn't got wings yet.

Here's a page full of mymphs I found but can't find these.

These are psyllid nymphs, Bruce. The second is Cacopsylla peregrina, and the first looks like a possible C. affinis. I assume they were both on Hawthorn?

Thanks Janet - That's a cracking compilation of nymph images!

Thanks Joe - I had no idea they might be psyllids....and yes they came from an area of wild garden immediately below a mature hawthorn tree.
