  1. citrophilous mealybug

    A citrophilous mealybug is a type of small insect, or pest, that is particularly attracted to and harmful to citrus plants. Mealybugs are soft-bodied insects covered in a white, waxy, cotton-like material and are known for causing damage to plants by sucking the sap from plant tissues and secreting honeydew which promotes the growth of sooty mould fungus. The term "citrophilous" specifies those mealybugs that have a preference for or an affinity to citrus plants. Their damage can result in a decrease in the plant's overall health, loss of yield, and they can also act as vectors for certain plant diseases.
