Field features: Only observed on M. capillaris, never feeding within leaf sheath but always above ligule, within tubular space created by tightly involute leaf blade. Specimens seem to prefer area directly above ligule but can be found anywhere within length of blade. Body oblong elliptical, white to yellow in first-instar nymphs, yellow to mottled with purple in second-instar nymphs and adult females (Figs 2 a – b), and purple in gravid adult females (Fig. 2 c). Short crystalline wax rods present on dorsum and body margins, curving posteriorly except for those on the head, which are straight. Venter with light dusting of white wax. Mature adult female situated within a long white felted ovisac, with yellow to purple eggs. First ovisac with eggs observed in May (Fig. 2 c) and male pupae first observed in March (2024 - 03057 - 1, FSCA _ 0073813).	en	Deeter, Lily A., Miller, Douglass R., Powell, Erin C., Moore, Matthew R.
