Observational analysis reports nymphal periods and egg-laying in mealybug on hibiscus, indicating ecological interactions.

The average life span of female mealybugs reaches up to 50 days, significantly influenced by environmental factors.
Females of the species laid an average of 256 eggs, with a hatching percentage of about 85%.
Nymphal periods for both male and female mealybugs are approximately 20 and 21 days, respectively.
Predation by Spalgis epius and Scymnus coccivora during field conditions reduces mealybug populations.

S et al. (2013) studied this question.
