Garden growing more problems ?

On closer look hubby said these are bugs, look like the same skin/ shell texture as woodlouse. Sat on an almost cobwebby base. Not happy as my kiwis usually look good even if they never fruit

Mealy bugs is my guess.

They are scale insects, they live off the sap. They are usually accompanied, and protected
by ants who harvest them for some kind of sweet substance.
Insecticides won't work as they are waterproof and live underneath a waxy substance and
shell like structure.
I would either keep rubbing them off and i mean all, or you could use a hosepipe with a gun
on the end to blast them off, or a pressure washer works a treat on bigger things like trees.
Good luck.

I pressure washed batch two today what huge satisfaction that was  well it was until i realise they were raining down on my head lol then it resembled something like i'm a celeb. Ewww
