Help! I've seen here and there in my garden a white, furry looking
insect 2-4 mm., just occasionally. Suddenly this morning I noticed my
Italian bay bush had a whole bunch of them along with drops (some
blobs) of a clear fluid that appeared to have a whitish scum in and
around it. Sorry I was too squeamish to touch the stuff so I don't
know if it was watery or viscous. The bugs are the low, flat type and
their white "hairs" make them look bigger than they are when you turn
them over. Sorta like a sowbug with a Don King do. They're kind of
pale yellow or tan on the belly.

I tried Googling for plant parasite white fuzzy or furry, and I
searched this group but I have not found anything that matches the
description.

I am near SF CA. Thank you
