White, fluffy mealybug destroyer. Looks and feels like cotton, found under a leaf. It jumped about a foot from one leaf to another. It is about one and a half centimeters in size.
Hot and humid rainforest, really common in the rainforest behind the school. Every time I see one, it is under a leaf or on the ground under shade.
It was jumping really far and was leaving behind shreds of its "cotton". Some mealybug destroyers are more flat to look more like bird poop to hide from predators.
