Measuring about 2-3mm, they typically have dark brown to black wing covers adorned with short gray hairs, and contrasting reddish brown to orange-ish coloring on the head, legs, and thorax. As a specialist for preying on scale insects, Lindorus lophanthae uses their mouth-parts to feed on all life stages of the pest, including the eggs, nymphs, and adults. Females attach small oval-shaped eggs to plant surfaces near colonies of scale. Depending on environmental conditions, it can take the eggs anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks to hatch. Once the eggs hatch, the larvae emerge actively feeding on scale eggs and nymphs for about 2-3 weeks while they develop and grow. After completing larval development, they enter the pupal stage for about 1-2 weeks until they transform into adult beetles. As adults, they feed on all life stages of armored and soft scale species while continuing to mate and reproduce throughout an approximate 2-month lifespan.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NaturesGoodGuys","offers":[{"title":"10 Beetles","offer_id":42455964942527,"sku":"348","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 Beetles","offer_id":42455964975295,"sku":"349","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 Beetles","offer_id":44536202894,"sku":"350","price":56.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 Beetles","offer_id":44536363598,"sku":"351","price":85.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1373\/5481\/files\/IMG_2104_1800x1640_4bc6b377-0347-4e90-af31-91355909c984.png?v=1742503097","url":"https:\/\/www.naturesgoodguys.sbs\/products\/lindorus-lophanthae","provider":"NaturesGoodGuys","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
