If you see hundreds of little white specks all over the leaves and twigs, you have the other scale insect

I'm pretty sure this is what Al is referring to. To me these are the worst ones for beginners because unless they know exactly what to look for they could lose not only branches but trees because these things spread so fast and do so much damage. I've had them on both Tridents and Elms. The way to find them is to wet the trunk and branches really good and they will stick out like a sore thumb as you can see here. They don't look anything like an insect at all but believe me they will cause big problems.
