Here a picture of an Indian wax scale on a white mulberry. Wax scales are interesting, as they are all female. That's right no males. It's kinda weird.
In mass, wax scales can stress out a tree or shrub, and produce copious amounts of honeydew, though I have seen neither.
The best management strategy is to simply pick them off in winter.
