Lepidosaphes ulmi

This is a widely invasive scale insect that is a pest of trees and woody plants. The small insects attach themselves to bark and cause injury by sucking the tree’s sap; this metabolic drain on the plant may kill a branch or the entire tree.

Slide mounted specimens identified, prepared, and mounted by American entomologist Richard F. Wilkey 1960s-1980s
