I have some scale insects on my ficus. Just wanted to share a picture for those who have a hard time finding out what they have. A tipycal scale insect and also typical sign as well. Honey like droplets on the leaves. They are sticky as well

I have the same issue on a lemon tree.
it is called pseudococcus, but there are different species affecting different plants.
Maybe google it to find a solution for your case

It reads like Madartej21 knows what they're doing, and was simply giving an example of what scale insects and their symptoms look like.
