Mealybug Destroyer

Cryptolaemus montrouzieri

Description:

The insect was about 1.5cm long. There are some other slightly bigger ones. It has some spiky white furs sticking out. It normally is on the green leaf and it is very noticeable because its whole body is white. It moves very slowly on the leaf.

Habitat:

A secondary forest. It is very damp, and has lots of spiders and insects.

Notes:

I have never seen a Mealybug Destroyer on the ground. Whenever, I spot them, they are always on the leaf.
