This page contains pictures and information about True Mealybugs in family Pseudococcidae
that we
found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.
-
-
They are sometimes found in group on plants indoor or
outdoor. Their bodies are flat with waxy excretions of white powdery substance.
They seldom move or move very slowly and feed in the same way as aphids and scale insects. Ladybirds
and lacewings
are their major predators.
