Moved from Aphids.

Mealybug or Aphid?
Lynette, did you change your mind and decide to move this one to Aphididae or do you still think this is some kind of coccinellid?

I have no idea
this was before the auto comment days, so really anyone could have moved it and I never would have known. I'm still not sure which it is!

Maybe both?
It almost looks as if there is one mealy bug and also some wooly aphids to the left of it. Who knows? Guess I'll leave it where it is for now...
