Mealybugs and Jumping Plant Lice

I must confess that I really can't remember when I first came to believe that Green Tree Ants, presented in the previous entry, farmed aphids concealed under frass. However, I am always willing to learn, so thank you Jennifer for the correction.
Under higher magnification a cotton-like covering becomes more apparent, which reminded me of another image I captured several nights ago of what looks like the Psyllids or jumping plant lice that tamborineman mentioned in the previous thread.
