There are three mango trees in front of my house, and the good news is that all three trees have already borne fruit, but there is one mango tree that is often attacked by pests which makes me very worried, I have tried various ways to eradicate these pests such as spraying them with anti-pest drugs and it is quite effective. When I was cutting one of the small branches, suddenly I saw a small white object attached to the mango branch, from a distance it looked like cotton attached, what surprised me was that the object moved like an insect walking, with curiosity I began to approach the insect and indeed it was an insect. Its size is very small so I had to take a picture of it using a macro lens, and from some of the pictures that I will share we can see the shape of this insect in detail.

This is a very unique insect, and its body appears to be covered in quite fine hairs.
The question now is, what is that white object on its back?
Okay everyone, now I'm going to share some images of this unique insect here.
