Rhyzobug, a small ladybird, preys on most armoured scale species, like Californian red scale (Aonidiella aurantii), Oleander scale (Aspitiotus nerii), and Rose scale. The life cycle of Rhyzobug (Rhyzobiius lophantae) consists of multiple stages. Eggs are laid underneath scales in groups of 1-5 eggs. After hatching, R. lophanthae goes through 4 larval stages, followed by a pupal stage. Adults emerge from the pupa. Total egg-adult development takes around 29 days at 25ºC, and 25 days at 30ºC.
