dying bush
 

One of my shrubs has recently become infested with *something*..
Little black and white enlongated specks all over the leaves and
stems, and it's slowly killing the plant. I cannot identify it and
would appreciate any help/advice. I don't know the name of the shrub
either, but it's normally dark green and yellow, variegated leaves. I
think it's an euonymus but I could be wrong. I put some pictures of it
up in my yahoo photos.

May be two different bugs. Dark looks like scale to me. I'd wack with a
systemic.

You have Euonymus scale. I would use horticultural oil. Using insecticides
against scale isnt usually very effective. Spray the oil all over the plant,
especially on the undersides of the leaves.
