User: BugWhisperer Note that scale insects are in the Order Homoptera, not Hemiptera as stated in all of Wikipedia's entries ( BugWhisperer ( talk) 15:24, 9 February 2011 (UTC))
The the insect shown in the last picture in this article is misidentified. The scale shown is not oystershell scale (which is an armored scale) but a common species of wax scale Ceroplastes cerifus, often referred to as Japanese scale. 72.94.107.211 ( talk) 16:17, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
