Field Notes

Description:

Brown bump of an insect attached strongly to indoor plants, withering the branches and leaves. They infested a jade plant and a spider plant when they were left outdoors, but the plants are both old and need repotting and get water stressed often.

Habitat:

Temperate coastal rainforest, infesting indoor plants.
