Very interesting! I would not have looked near fern sori to find a coccid.

What prompted you to do such a technically complex treatment of this subject?

I was interested to look closer on small fern spores when i see it. It was in the parents hallway when we moving the citruses to the outside after the winter. Citruses was full of coccids (coccuses?) so i expect fern caught a few from them. When i found it on fern too so i shooted it as 2in1. :-)

(now citruses are clean - a lot of sparrows pecked the coccids down)
