The Darwin Initiative project on the scale insects of Kenya has now finished. I am writing identification keys to the scales of continental Africa in a series of articles. I cannot cover all 1,400+ species but it will be a good start. Currently I am close to finishing the manuscript on African mealybugs. I was co-editor and an author on the Encyclopedia of Scale Insect Pests, and am Coccomorpha Subject Editor for Zootaxa.
