scale on some type of small palm?
Avalon, Catalina Island, Los Angeles County, California, USA
July 2, 2010
Size: 2mm diameter average
I think this is oleander scale, Aspidiotus nerii, but there are no images on bugguide. (references: [1][2][3]). Would appreciate it greatly if anybody could correct or confirm.
