Scales??
Richmond Hill, York Region, Ontario, Canada
June 17, 2007
Size: 1 mm max.
They are found only on the undersides of leaves. One can, however, assess the damage to each leaf without having to turn it over: the upper surface of the leaf has a yellow spot for each feeding site - more spots means a heavier infestation. These insects are mobile and walk sluggishly.
