Great find, Gilda, and thanks for sharing! I was just coming to post a picture of a nasty I've been battling for months on this on catt I have (he's been in isolation all winter, poor thing) but now I think it's aphids, thanks to your post. I might post the picture, just to be 100% sure.

Oh, now that might be what it is. They are very small white things (the pic didn't turn out) and they are really damaging. They are on the underside of the leaves mostly, and l've been using insect soap, which hasn't really helped, and washing them off with a toothbrush. Since it's getting warmer, I took it out for a malathon bath today.

My hat's off to you, Gilda! You are the master!
I just did a web searh for he scale you suggested and found a picture here: http://www.orchidlady.com/scale.html She suggests a mixture of 409, alcohol and water. Guess it's worth a try! Lisa
