    Hi Christiane... I think you have Ceroplastes rubens (Pink wax scale) http://www.ilandscape.com.au/articles/Pests-and-Diseases-Articles/Planting-Pests-Information-and-Articles/Pink-Wax-Scale-Ceroplastes-Rubens
    Ceroplastes rusci seems to have less pink but more lobes as in your link. What do you think?     Posted 9 years ago
