Mealy Bug Destroyer larva

Cryptolaemus montrouzieri

Description:

This 5mm long piece of moving white fluff was on a Mt Morgan Wattle branch.

Habitat:

Wattle branch

Notes:

This creature seemed to be attacking scale on the wattle and therefore I suspect it to be a ladybird larvae. Should go in mimics.
