This is a swallow's paw, and the worm is a scale insect.

The insect body of scale insects is wrapped by horny shells, so it is not easy to be sprayed directly. Just like lice suck human blood, it sucks the juice of plants, which causes great harm to flowers and trees. Injured plants not only grow poorly, but also have yellow leaves and early leaves, which will wither and die seriously. The damaged flowers are Milan, Jasmine, Camellia and Michelia. Preventive and control measures are:

Liquor and water are mixed in a ratio of 1:2. During pest control, the surface of the basin soil is thoroughly poured. In spring, when the room temperature is 7℃, the scale insects begin to move. You can water it once in mid-April, and then every half month or so, and it will be effective for four consecutive times.

Soak cotton balls in 50 ml of vinegar (rice vinegar), and then gently wipe them on the stems and leaves of injured flowers and trees with wet cotton balls to wipe off the scale insects and kill them. This method is not only convenient and safe, but also can control pests and make injured leaves turn green and shiny again.

Wipe the diseased plant gently and repeatedly with alcohol, and the scale insects can be removed, and the removal is completely clean. If you wipe the diseased leaves of orchids with alcohol, you can not only remove scale insects, but also completely kill the larvae that are invisible to the naked eye. In the second year, the harm of scale insects was rarely found. This method is simple, safe and effective.

Diesel oil, washing powder and water are mixed into mother liquor according to the ratio of 10:0.6:6. At this time, the mother liquor contained 60% and was milky white. After diluting the liquid medicine containing 30% oil with water, carefully spray the scale insects on Milan, Kumquat and Cycas. After a week, most of the scale insects changed from bright orange to shriveled state, indicating that this method has a good control effect on scale insects.
