San Jose scale. Quadraspidiotus perniciosus (Comstock), Family Diaspididae. The San Jose scale was discovered ... in the vicinity of San Jose, California before 1880. It was brought from Japan, but its original habitat seems to have been northern China. ... it spread rapidly and now may be found throughout most of the United States and in Canada. In recent years it has not been a serious problem because of natural enemies and effective pesticides properly applied. San Jose scale attacks most cultivated fruits and a large number of ornamental shrubs and trees.
