Iseria scale insect - Iseria red scale insect

Japanese: イセリアカイガラムシ - いせりあかいがらむし

... Infested plants suffer direct damage from the sap they suck, and are often weakened by the induction of sooty mold and rot diseases. The host plants vary depending on the species. The Yanone scale, a major pest of citrus, only infests citrus, while the Iseria scale (Icerya purchasi) , the Ruby wax scale (Comstockaspis perniciosa), and the San Jose scale ( Comstockaspis perniciosa ) infest and damage many fruit trees and shrubs. Control with chemicals is difficult, but the use of natural enemies is extremely effective. ...

From [Naturalized Species]

...Other species that were kept as pets but escaped and became naturalized include the Korean chipmunk, which has become wild in Hokkaido and Kinkazan in Gifu, budgerigars that have become wild around Tokyo, and many other pet birds. Other species that were kept in zoos but escaped and became wild include the Taiwanese squirrel, which is native to Taiwan and lives in Izu Oshima and Kamakura. Among fur animals, there are the nutria, which was imported from Central and South America during World War II and was actively cultivated in various places, but some escaped and became wild in Okayama and other places. There are also the North American muskrat, which is thought to have been cultivated around the same time and has settled near Edogawa in Tokyo, and the North American mink, which was imported as a fur animal after the war, was cultivated, escaped, and became wild in Hokkaido. Furthermore, there are species that are thought to have accidentally entered the country by attaching themselves to imported plants, such as the Iseria scale insect, which was introduced from Australia on ornamental plants at the end of the Meiji period, the Fall Webworm, which is native to North America and was introduced to Japan during World War II, and the green grasshopper, which was introduced from China around the same time. Japan's brown rats, brown rats, and other house mice are thought to have migrated from the continent in ancient times and become wild, but they are not called naturalized animals.
