Description
Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) of two scale insects on an avocado, showing their undersides with atrophied legs. Scale insects are parasites that live on a wide variety of plants (usually on the undersides of leaves, rachis and branches), feeding on the sap and damaging the plant. They are considered pests. Scale insects are sometimes well-camouflaged, but their presence can be detected by the presence of sticky secretions. Magnification 551 (with image size 12x12 cm).
