I found this tiny thing on a plant I bought recently, and I was wondering if itās scale? It was a bit stuck on the leaf but did come off with a bit of gentle force, I didnāt notice it damage the leaf thankfully so I thought Iād share it and see if anyone recognises it.
I don't recognize it but you described a hard shell scale.

Scale. There are many varieties. Treat the plant and soil with insecticidal soap. Their babies lay under the adults. ššŖ“š¬
3 gillningar Thank you for the heads up! Iām glad I kept it quarantined from the other plants now šš
