WHO CAUSES IT?
Euphyllura olivina is an insect known as olive milkweed, which affects olive trees. The insect goes through several stages of development: egg, larva, nymph and adult. During the larva phase, the insect produces a waxy secretion that accumulates in the tender shoots and flowers, where it feeds. Adults lay eggs on leaves and shoots, especially in spring and fall.
