I don't know even the order (Coleoptera???) In summer 2007, into my city, Zaragoza, Aragon, Spain. Habitat: urban wall, near gardens. Size: about 7-8 mm.  What is it? Thanks...  |

It's an aphid (Homoptera) - not sure what family, something like Phylloxeridae or Adelgidae

Thanks! I have the order at least... but, you're sure than this is an aphid? It size 6-7 mm! Is very big for an aphid... |

I'm a little reluctant to give an opinion after the aphid/psyllid business last week but ... how about a scale insect, something near Orthezia? John Bratton Menai Bridge |

I suppose I photographed a relative: outskirts of Berlin, wood along street, on Tilia leaf, 30 June. The animal is smaller than 7 mm, though. No idea what it is, so I am as curious as Isidro about a hint. Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [186.45Kb] Edited by Sundew on 28-09-2007 15:32 |

In my opinion: a scale insect.

Also reminds me of Icerya purchasi (http://www.galeri...chasi.html) but that may not be not even occuring in your area.
