It's starting to feel like fall! 🥶 🍂 Who else has gotten a head start on their winter "coat"? ✋ In nature, there's no shame in gaining a few extra pounds during this time of year to prepare for winter. Just ask this lacewing larva 👇 This is by far the most rotund lacewing I've ever seen. She was happily munching away at mealybugs under the bark of a grapevine. In vineyards we usually apply lacewings for leafhopper management instead of mealybugs, since we have access to our specialized mealybug destroyers (https://lnkd.in/gfD7Ztr9), but I do occasionally see native lacewings feeding on mealybugs. Lacewings aren't picky - they'll eat whatever is closest to them. And if that isn't a fall-time vibe, I don't know what is!

Did you know that plants produce a unique smell when they are infested with armoured scales such as the Californian red scale (𝘈𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘪), Oleander scale (𝘈𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘰𝘵𝘶𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘪), or Rose scale? 💡 The natural enemy of these pests, 𝘙𝘩𝘺𝘻𝘰𝘣𝘪𝘶𝘴 𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘦 (Rhyzobug) can detect this smell. When it does, it preys on the armoured scales and saves the plant from severe damage.
