This scale has been found on the islands of Santa Cruz and San Cristobal in the Galapagos Islands.I would like to find out about setting up a monitoring program
to monitor the damage of the scale. Any information about this scale would be appreciated, including but not limited to : what type of vegetation is effected, what vector spreads the scale, and effective controls. I would like to talk with experts by phone as well, so please include your number. I would like to get in touch as quickly as possible, as I need to set up a monitoring plan and head down to the islands in January. Thank you.
