Mealybugs

Mealybug infestations can easily be confused as a mold or fungus on your plant due to their white fluffy egg covering. Mealy can grow to be as large as 1/8th of an inch and the eggs will be the size of a pinhead. Mealy are sap sucking insects that eject a honeydew onto the surface of your plant and the floor around the area. Severe Mealy Colonies will result in leafs dropping off your plant, sticky residue on your plant and eventually can kill the host plant.
