San Jose Scale, Quadraspidiotus perniciosus.
Found in most areas of the world.
Pest of Apples, peaches, pears, plums and Rubus. Found in most areas of the world.
Overwinters in the nymph stage. Expect more scale issues following mild winters. After progressing through larval and pupal stages, males mature and emerge from their scales approximately 4 to 6 weeks post-birth. Adult males have a flight span of only a few days and can mate immediately with females, who stay beneath their scales. Each female generates several hundred live crawlers within a 6-week span. The timing of these stages tends to vary annually, influenced by temperature fluctuations. Typically, crawlers from the first generation emerge in early June and production may extend until early August. These young crawlers can be transported to other trees by wind, on birds' feet, on the clothing of farm workers, or via orchard equipment. Females from the first generation mature by late July, with second generation crawlers emerging in August. The production of second generation crawlers persists until October or November.
