Pandas Matplotlib: How to change shape and size of the legend in scatter plot?

I have a scatter plot :

fig,ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(6,5),dpi=200)

ax.scatter(df1['id'],df1['resellers'],c='red',s=df1['ips']/80,label='AS Size = IPs seen in dnsdb')
ax.set_xticks([1,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20])
ax.set_xlim(-1,22)
ax.legend(
       scatterpoints=1,
   loc='best',
   ncol=1,
   fontsize=12)

I am wondering how can I change the shape and size of the bubble in the legend to rectangular and smaller size. Can anybody help?enter image description here

You can change the size of the symbol in the legend using the markerscale keyword. For example,

ax.legend(
       scatterpoints=1,
   loc='best',
   ncol=1,
   markerscale=0.5,
   fontsize=12)

will reduce the symbol size by a factor 2.
