What is gongolo bug?

The gongolo bug, also known as the African citrus psyllid, is a small insect that belongs to the family Psyllidae. These bugs feed on citrus plants, sucking sap from the leaves and branches. They are generally found in Africa, particularly in the regions surrounding the Congo and in Kenya. Gongolo bugs can cause severe damage to citrus plants by feeding on the leaves and transmitting citrus greening disease, a serious plant disease that can lead to complete destruction of citrus crops. The bugs are brown and have distinctive yellow and black stripes on their abdomen and wings. They are approximately 2 to 3 mm in length and can be difficult to spot due to their small size. Control measures for gongolo bugs include the use of insecticides and the removal of infected plants to prevent the spread of citrus greening disease.
