[0002] The hibiscus mealybug is a newly introduced pest in my country, mainly harming a variety of crops, flowers, succulents and other plants. It often gathers on branches, leaves and fruits, sucking plant sap for a living, which can cause plant death in severe cases. The mealybug has abundant natural enemies, especially parasitic natural enemies such as jumping wasps, aphid wasps and ichneumon wasps. The parasitic rate in the wild is as high as 50% to 70%, which has good prospects for biological control applications.

[0003] At present, under indoor conditions, the propagation of mealybug parasitic natural enemies mainly relies on mealybugs raised on various host plants for reproduction.
