Bugs with wooly bum.
Hello,
I have recently been given a Chinese Elm as a present. I went to water it by lightly showering it over the top and discovered flea like insects jumping from the bonsai. They are about 3 mm long with cotton wool like material growing out from their rear. I think they finally develop into the fly in the picture because they have the same heads. The leaves dont look chewed. I have no idea what they are and am worried that they might damage my plant. There is a spider living in my tree so I am hoping that it keeps the bugs at bay. The plant looks fine now with new growth and all...but I really appreciate any information about these bugs.
Thanks!
Emily
