Basic Information

Fiorinia theae

Tea Scale, Tea scale

Fiorinia theae, the tea scale, is a polyphagous scale insect which is native to Asia and has been introduced into the Americas. It is widely distributed on both continents, especially in warmer regions. Apart from tea (Camellia sinensis), the host plants include a range of trees and shrubs, both ornamentals and crops. For example, other Camellia species, Citrus or Ilex (holly) species are part of the host range. Infested plants turn yellow and might die after heavy infestation.
