Field Notes

Description:

A fuzzy, white bug. It has spiky and soft cover completely covering its back. The mealybug at first did not look like it was moving but after awhile you notice it slowly inching around the plant. About 2 cm in size.

Habitat:

It was found on the stem of a plant. In the shady part of the SAS rainforest.
