This tool is designed to help identify any scale insect to family, and in some cases to species, without the need for expertise in the group. The tool focuses on scale taxa important to the U.S. ports-of-entry. Target users include USDA-APHIS pest survey specialists, identifiers at ports-of-entry, state and county identifiers, students, and scientists. The tool was funded by USDA APHIS PPQ, CDFA, and Farm Bill 10201.
