Related to lady beetles, Cryptolaemus are predatory beetles that hunt several species of mealybugs. Both the adults and larvae hunt for prey. They have a large appetite consuming about 30-70 mealybugs per day. Adults are able to fly, making for easy dispersal throughout the crop. The larva mimics the appearance of mealybugs, which allows them to invade mealybug colonies unnoticed. Cryptolaemus can eat other soft-bodied insects if mealybugs are not available but won't complete its life cycle on certain diets.Β
