User's notes
Thanks to Barbara for the initial sighting of the Giant Snowball Mealybug which I believe is a female. The insect had a puncture wound between its antenna and first leg as seen in the third image. Closer inspection of the final image shows spikes growing from the insect's leg. Greater detail of the insect is shown in following sightings 4510874 and 4510875.
