How It Works

Adult female beetles lay up to ten eggs per day and up to 500 eggs in total. The large white cottony larvae of Cryptolaemus should not be confused with its host, which also has hairs and a creamy white colour.

  • Adult beetles and young larvae feed on mealybug eggs and young crawlers and instars.
  • Large Cryptolaemus larvae can also consume adult mealybugs.
  • The life cycle of the Cryptolaemus montrouzieri takes from 4 to 7 weeks depending on temperature.
  • Cryptoleamus larvae are also known as ‘a wolf in sheeps clothing’ since the larva look like mealy bug larva and adults.
  • Works best in crops with longer growing cycles.
