Aphids are coming out and if you notice white fluffy stuff on your citrus it is highly likely it's a mealy bug. |
At my prompting, we sat outside, where the mealy smell of cooking grease gave way to carbon monoxide. |
They dart among flowers and lay eggs among clusters of aphids, mealy bugs, mites, scale and other pests where their larvae can feed. |
Pseudopollen is a mealy material, usually whitish or yellowish in colour, which superficially resembles pollen. |
The root is round, seldom larger and often smaller than a small carrot, grey outside and yellowish white within, with a mealy texture like a floury potato. |
Perhaps more insidiously, insects such as fruit fly can carry spores associated with bunch rots, and mealy bug can transmit leaf roll virus. |
