Hi all
I have small shrub variegated private (I think - pic below) which has a white larvae-like infestation. Although some leaves contain small numbers of the larvae, top and underneath, the main infestation is on the stems which are completely covered. The infestation only affects this one variety, of which I have 2 in the garden about 20 feet apart - both are infested. Because I'm not sure of the plant name or variety (it's been in this garden for many years), I have included a pic of it in the hope that one of you experts can identify it. Sorry about the slightly out of focus stem shot.
