Biology. Saccharicoccus sacchari is always hidden under the leaf sheaths of its host-plants; each female lays 300 – 400 eggs in an ovisac. The eggs hatch in 3 – 5 days and complete development in 20 – 30 days. This mealybug is one of the most important pests of sugarcane in the sugarcane-growing regions in Guangxi (Zhou et al. 1999; Qin et al. 2013).
