Larvae, pupae and adult cactus lady beetle

... that the adults and larvae of the cactus lady beetle prey on the West Indian red scale, the date palm scale, the white peach scale, the sugarcane scale and the minute cypress scale?

Reviewed: The Thirty-Year Genocide

Hi Cwmhiraeth, looking good on a first pass. It'll take me a little while to work through all the articles. Quick question, did you mean to link Melanaspis glomerata? It is currently a one line sub-stub. Or are you looking to expand this in the coming days? - Dumelow (talk) 11:16, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Dumelow: You got to this too quickly! I am expanding the Melanaspis glomerata article now. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:37, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
