- Cryptolaemus montrouzieri (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) Mealybug Destroyer
This beetle was imported into the United States in 1891 from Australia by one of the early biological control pioneers, Albert Koebele, to control citrus mealybug in California. Although C. montrouzieri initially devastated the citrus mealybug populations in citrus groves, it was unable to survive the winter except in coastal areas
