Image of Cottony Cushion Scale
Description:
Note that the main photo is rotated to make the insect look more like a plant bud. In reality, it was hanging from the underside of the stem. Found on a stem of a young kowhai tree (Sophora microphylla) in our back garden. Macro photos are through my 10x botanical hand lens.
