Field Notes
Description:
A soft brown scale about 5 mm in length with a segmented body. Along and under the posterior end of the body was a white fluff, so soft that it was being blown by the wind and the long fibres covering most of the body. This is the egg case of this female.
Habitat:
Spotted on a stem of a eucalyptus sapling in a recreation reserve - Ferntree Gully Quarry.
Notes:
? Pulvinaria.
I am unsure of the species of this scale but will do further research.
