EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photomicrograph, we witness the audacious antics of the notorious Golden Root Mealybugs. These mischievous insects have made themselves at home on the roots of Corokia macrocarpa and imported New Zealand trees, causing quite a stir in the insect world! With their vibrant yellow bodies and minuscule size, these pests may seem harmless at first glance. But don't be fooled by their cute appearance! These cunning creatures belong to the Hemiptera family and are known for wreaking havoc on plants. Caught in action underneath our lens, you can see these tiny invaders dwelling in the soil while feasting on precious root nutrients. Their ventral view reveals intricate details of their legs as they scurry around like undercover agents. It's no wonder that FLPA photographer Nigel Cattlin captured this extraordinary moment with such precision. This snapshot serves as a reminder that even beneath our feet lies an entire ecosystem filled with fascinating critters - some more troublesome than others! So next time you admire your garden or stroll through nature's wonders, take a closer look! Who knows what hidden adventures await just below the surface?
