Scale Insects - Hemiptera - Animal India
Scale insects are small herbivorous insects in the order Hemiptera that feed on plant sap by piercing tissues. These insects often have a mutualistic relationship with ants, which consume the honeydew and protect them from predators. Here, a scale insect falls into the water and swims in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on June 15, 2025. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
