Mealybug Predator Adults

Adult Cryptolaemus lay their eggs among the mealybugs and may feed on them as well.  Eggs hatch in about 2 weeks and Cryptolaemus larva feed on mealybug colonies until they are fully developed.  The larva then pupate for 3-10 days before emerging as adults.  Insecticides and ants disrupt the effectiveness of this predator.  Does best at temperatures above 70°F.
