  1. san jose scale

    The San Jose scale is a species of scale insect, scientifically known as Quadraspidiotus perniciosus, that is a notorious agricultural pest affecting fruit trees and other plants. They are named after San Jose, California, where they were first discovered. These insects feed by sucking sap from plants, damaging and often killing the plant in the process. They also produce a toxic effect that reduces the yield and quality of fruits. Infestations are difficult to manage due to their rapid reproduction and their protective armor-like scales.
