Fig. 22 their existence. They do form some wax, which adheres to them in granules, and gives them their name of mealy bug. In all these respects, the mealy bugs resemble the larvas of other scale insects. The male is a two- winged insect; it dies after the female has been fertilized. From 350 to 400 eggs are laid in a cotton-like mass secreted by the female at the time the eggs are deposited. These hatch in from 8 to 18 days, depending on the season, into small larvas, which closely resemble the adult female. They do not migrate very far, because they are busy feeding on the plant juices, attacking the tender foliage.
