whats this bug?
« on: October 18, 2006, 09:54:16 pm »
Found this bug on a fallen leaf a couple days ago. The lines on the paper are 1/4" spacing and the bottom of this bug is real flat. It moves real slow and is soft. There were no holes in the leaf that it was sitting on so I don't know if it was feeding on the leaf or not. I have never seen an insect like this and I could not find it in any of my books. Anyone got any idea what this thing is called?

 Sorry, the only time I saw anything like that it was on Star Trek.

That would be a small Tribble, and the best Dr. McCoy could figure, they are born pregnant.  :D  :D

I have seen things like that a few times around oak trees and I think it is a beetle that grows about two inches long and specific to oak. Or it is of the Rhino family going by size since it looks about an inch wide.

It is one of the scale insects and is a sap sucker and producer of honeydew, the same as an aphid.  There are many of these and a large key would be required to find this specific one.

It is probably a Pseudococcidae  (Mealybug)
