Cryptolaemus montrouzieri is a Coccinellid predator, which is used widely in Southern Europe where it is naturally endemic, for the control of Mealy Bug pests on citrus and other tree crops. In Northern Europe it has been used commonly for release onto indoor ornamental plants as a population regulator for Mealy Bugs. The large white cottony larvae of Cryptolaemus should not be confused with its host, which also has hairs and a creamy white colour.
