Literally hundreds of these in my garden! Friend or foe?

    That’s a Mealybug destroyer (*Cryptolaemus montrouzieri*).

    It’s a friend that camouflages as what they eat (mealybugs).

    So it’s possible you’ve got an infestation of mealybugs, plus some mealybug destroyers helping to get rid of them.

    I appreciate you not killing them without checking who they are first!

    These are fossils, you will be fine!

    is it as big as it looks or is that zoomed in? Ive never seen these before so hoping to be able to tell them apart from mealybugs
