Summary
| Description |
This furry Lady-beetle with many (orange) pollen is a biological agent of Australian origin that feeds on Mealy-bugs (Genus Pseudococcus) and other scale insects; it features an interesting mimicry as the larva looks very similar to adult mealy-bugs, so instead of protection they become prey. have a look at its larva: www.flickr.com/photos/gbohne/5551938125/ Somebody might have tried biological pest control near... that gives me hope!
