Milne, W.M. 1993 The effect of watering regime on immature stages of Ceroplastes destructor Newstead (Hemiptera: Coccidae).. Journal of the Australian Entomological Society 32: 229-232.

Notes: Abstract: Watering regime did not significantly affect the survival of immature stages of this species, but it did affect rate of development; rate of development was also influenced by host plant species; prolonged exposure to temperatures above 35 degrees C apparently caused high mortality of immature stages on leaves, regardless of water regime.
