Pest:Icerya purchasi, cottony cushion scales! Major host:Citrus Occasional host:Rose Location:Manthali,Ramechhap And is well controlled biologically by the predatory vedalia beetle, Rodolia cardinalis. Apart from feeding the sap it secrets honey dew and attracts ants. 😊 It is a serious agricultural pest that causes heavy economic loss!! P.S.It's the same pest that devastated citrus industry in California long ago. Photo:By me
