In fact many moth species are best known in their caterpillar stages because of the damage they cause to fruits and other agricultural produce, whereas the moths are obscure and do no direct harm.

They comprise the superfamily Coccoidea, previously placed in the now obsolete group called "Homoptera". There are about 8,000 described species of scale insects. Large populations may result in poor growth, reduced vigor and chlorotic (yellowed) leaves. If left unchecked, an infested host may become so weak that it dies.]]> 2017-04-27 14:05:39 UTC https://padlet.com/alex_johnson1/ld41kodk3gq9/wish/168638162 alex_johnson1 https://padlet.com/alex_johnson1/ld41kodk3gq9/wish/168639162 are slender, very small insects, about 0.03 inch (0.8 mm) long when mature. ...
