User's notes
The ground around a Eucalypt was littered with leaves blown off in the recent high winds, and the leaves were covered with these tiny scale insects. The average overall length of these insects was measured as 1.5 mm. Photographed at 1X and 4X magnification. Thanks to Marcus Leach for the initial sighting.
