Rhyzobug is a biological pest control containing 500 adult Rhyzobius lophanthae supplied in a 90ml bottle for targeted control of armoured scale insects (Diaspididae).

Rhyzobius lophanthae is a predatory ladybird that actively searches for and feeds on armoured scale insects across a range of citrus and ornamental crops.

Target scale species include California red scale (Aonidiella aurantii), oleander scale (Aspidiotus nerii), Florida red scale (Chrysomphalus aonidum), purple scale (Lepidosaphes beckii), chaff scale (Parlatoria pergandii) and citrus snow scale (Unaspis citri).

Rhyzobius lophanthae may also occasionally feed on soft scales (Coccidae), mealybugs (Pseudococcidae), and small insect eggs and larvae, although these are not its preferred prey.

Rhyzobug can be incorporated into an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programme for targeted biological control of armoured scale insects.
