Field Notes

Description:

This little critter is called a Mealybug Destroyer. It is white and round. A mealy bug destroyer tends to move around a lot while a mealy bug doesn't move as much. A mealy bug destroyer is often mistaken for a bird's dropping. It's small, about the size of a 5 cent SG coin. The mealy bug destroyer has unique white 'hairs'. Adult mealybug destroyers look like black lady beetles with brown heads.

Habitat:

Secondary Rainforest, Singapore
