Mealybug
Destroyer Cryptolaemus
montrouzieri (Mulsant, 1853)  |
||
| An introduced species found in heated greenhouses. It is commonly used by commercial growers in large glasshouses as a biological pest control of Mealybugs. Adults occasionally escape through ventilation windows, where they may be found outdoors for a time, but cannot survive the UK Winter. The ones photographed were found in the Tropical House at Woodthorpe Grange, Nottingham in September 2013. | ||
