Mealybugs are a type of sap-sucking insects that feed on plants,especially in warm and tropical regions.They are typically found on the undersides of leaves,along the stems and at the base of the plant.Mealybugs are small,soft-bodied insects that are covered in a white,waxy substance that gives them a cottony or mealy appearance.They are typically less than 1/4 inch long and can be found in clusters or individually.Mealybugs can cause damage to plants by sucking the sap from the leaves and stems,which can lead to stunted growth,yellowing,and leaf drop.They can also transmit plant diseases.Control measures for mealybugs include removing infested plants,using insecticidal soaps or oils,introducing natural predators,and practicing good plant hygiene to prevent infestations.
