I think this is Japanese Wax Scale, but I'm not sure. Can anyone confirm it or set me straight? (Spotted on the stems of salvia guaranitica).
Thanks!

Scale I.D.
What a beautiful bug! Really interesting!
Yes, looks like you have the ID.
They are very interesting things; shame they are so destructive. :( Thanks, Diana!
if the plant isn't too big, you could always spray with a generic cooking spray (like pam). it's great in a pinch but any oil based product will burn the leaves if the sun is out.
Thanks, Tracks! :) Never thought of that.

Ceroplastes?
