Okay, so I noticed this old picture above in my “No Holes” blog. Now look at the area. That makes me feel pretty good!
Back to the scale, here is a better picture of the white armored scale. It lives with ants and eats their honeydew or something. It also makes black soot on the branches.

Ants farm armored scale for its honeydew. Honeydew feeds black fungus. Get rid of the ants with ant bait and you get rid of the scale.
