Looks like some sort of aphid. Does it have legs, or move?
No it doesn't move. When you pick at it just falls right off that's why I thought it was sap? I looked at it through a scope and still can't make out if it's a bug

The pic you posted definitely appears to be a "scale". Can you post some pics of the different looking ones?


I found this post for you:

  • To get rid of scale insects prune and dispose of infested branches, twigs and leaves.
  • When scale numbers are low they may be rubbed or picked off of plants by hand.
  • Dabbing individual pests with an alcohol-soaked cotton swab or neem-based leaf shine will also work when infestations are light.
