Insects On Hydrangeas

[FoxLee2]

Earlier this evening, my son was showing me an insect that is rife on his hydrangeas. I tried to google to identify it but with no luck. It's about 3/8" long, white and flat. It's not noticeably doing any harm but I've never seen anything like it before. Can anyone help identify it please?

Can you post a picture FoxLee?

Try Lygus bug

Sorry I can't do a picture.

No, it's nothing like a lygus bug. You can't see legs, it looks like a piece of flat white paper! A little bit in the front was fluttering about - whether that was a 'head' moving about, I'm not sure.

It could be Hydrangea scale, which is in itself a pest. Do they move at all, asin from one part of the plant to another?

Sounds like a moth to me.

I've googled Hydrangea scale and it looks like they are the ovisacs which are flat and waxy white. I'll pass that info onto my son.

Thanks everyone for your inputs.
