Need help with identifying this pest. It haunts my pear tree. It mostly sits along the main nerve of newly formed leaves.
That orange living thing is like 0.2mm long, that's why the pic related is of a quite shitty quality.
(I had to attaching my camera to a microscope… and the pear leaves are hairy, so it's hard to remove the pest from a leaf without squishing it.)
That creatures also seem to gets attention from ants, they do not look like aphids though.
Hexapod? With antennas? I guess this is an insect? Google lens did shit, suggesting all the bugs I could think of and some other... Pictures of common pear pest and pest damage do not look similar to this creature or the affected leaves.
