23. Coccidae – Scales

While female scales remain immotile for the rest of their lives once they have found a host, males regrow their legs and usually develop wings at maturity to find females. This is the Kuno scale Eulecanium kunoense. Photo by Joyce Gross (and very impressive it is too - photographing something as minute as a male scale would not be an easy call.
