    My first post. I have read lots of post with great information. I new to the citrus family. Bought a few trees this last spring. They seem to be pretty happy except for one but I think its just tempamental. I give it the same as the others and they look fine. I have a small whit little bug with no head that is oval shaped and is very small. But once in a while I'll see a larger one. At first I thought it was scale but I think now its some kind of bug. I have checked all the leaves and press on them to keep them in check but the next time I see a large one I'll take a picture on it for an ID. Here are a couple of pictures of my efforts so far.

    Re: Hello

    Your tree looks nice and healthy. Horticultural oil will kill most insects (except miners) that affect citrus.
