Mealybugs vs Me...all out WAR!!! Female
Default
The recent issue of "Orchids" Magazine (Vol. 82 No. 8 August 2013) talks about mealies... It says:
Quote:
The complete life cycle takes six weeks to two months, depending on the species and the environmental conditions, and females can lay 300-600 eggs. Like aphids, mealybugs can reproduce at a prodigious rate if not controlled early on. [......] Both aphids and mealybugs are capable of producing female-only generations, hastening the growth of a colony.
What it says about aphids, is even scarier!

After reading this article, I would also definitely recommend systemics! (I would've before, but even more so now, after having read that.)
