Description
Scanning electron micrograph of scale insect. Scale insects belong to the superfamily of lice (Coccoidea), in the class of insects. The adults are immobile and remain in place where they have also pierced the plant for plant juice. The females lay large quantities of eggs under their shield. They are among the most common houseplant pests. But their appearance indicates rather the non-optimal location of the plants, i.e. in winter, too warm, too dry …. Magnification is 40x at 15x12cm image size.
