Field Notes

Description:

2cm Mealybug with little creatures on it which may be parasites or larvae

Notes:

I didn't realise this Mealybug had cargo until the images were on the computer and as there was already a mealy bug on the site I didn't take the care I should when photographing it
Leptomastix or larvae?
