Excerpt from The Olive Insects of California
The black scale is the commonest and most troublesome insect pest Of the Olive in California, but there are many districts which have always been practically free from serious attacks. The young are liable to be killed by hot, dry weather and therefore the insect does not find the climatic conditions Of the warmer valleys so favorable to its growth as those along the coast. However, it is gradually encroaching upon territory claimed a few years ago to be absolutely immune because Of the hot, dry summers.
