We found mostly VMB eggs and young nymphs at our Carneros sampling site. We found the eggs under the bark. Young nymphs (1st instars) are under the bark and on the leaves.
77.2% of the VMB population under the bark is eggs and 1st instar nymphs.
99.2% of the VMB population on the leaves is 1st instar nymphs.
We also found many mealybug destroyer larvae feeding on VMB eggs under the bark.
