OK, it's nothing special, but it's the first I've had in the garden.

Well it's new to me. I'd never heard of it or seen it! Does it harm the plant?
No, it's not so abundant that the plant is put back by having it. Even the branch that it's on continues to grow healthily. Much preferable to aphids ;-)
