| | Several natural enemies were identified and the symbiosis between the lac insect and the ant usually occurred. | | | Susceptibility of the insect among various varieties of longan and lichee showed no significant difference. | | | Experiments in the green house showed that emulsive spraying over the tree was more effective against the insect than granular treatment of the root zone or painting chemicals on tree trucks or branches. |

| Â | Basic Information on Lac |
| | Lac is the hardened resin, secreted by the tiny lac insect belonging to a bug family. | | | Lac insects settle closely on the twigs of certain host trees, suck the plant sap and grow, all the while secreting lac resin from their bodies. | | | Lac yields, besides resin, other useful products such as lac dye and lac wax. |

| | The commercial shellac is produced by the females of a species of coccids, the lac insect, Kerria Rlacca (Kerr) (Homoptera: Tachardiidae). | | | It is pointed out in that book that lac is a product of the lac insect on plants; it's purple-coloured nymphs may be conveyed to the branches, upon hatching, to produce lac. | | | Since 1960's the lac insect was considered as a serious pest damaged to sisty six species plants, particularly on the fruit trees, litchi, longan, sugar apple, and Ficus spp.in Taiwan. |

| Â | THE MYSORE LAC INSECT |
| | The lac insect is a highly gregarious insect. | | | It normally forms what may be called a giant colony or stick lac and the minute morphological and physiological differences, difficult to observe separately are obvious in their totality by comparing specimens of stick lac belonging to two different species of lac insect. | | | Lacshadia mysorensis is the only insect which has three life cycles a year, and the while its productivity has increased its size decreased, just as is the case with polyvoltine silk worms. |

| | The lobate lac scale, Paratachardina lobata lobata (Chamberlin) (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Coccoidea: Kerriidae), a scale insect native to India and Sri Lanka, was found for the first time in Florida in August 1999 by personnel of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Plant Industry (DPI) (Hamon 2001). | | | Undoubtedly, movement of infested host plants from one locality to the next is a key factor in spreading scale insect pests in urban areas. | | | In 2001, the scale insect species was found on 11 sites in Broward County and six sites in Miami-Dade County. |

| | Most of these were fugitive and they soon faded when exposed to sunlight. | | | There were notable exceptions, however, like the materials obtained from the madder root, the woad plant, or from the lac insect which, under conditons not too unfavorable, sometimes lasted for centuries. | | | Only slightly less available were the colored earths which included the yellow, red, and brown ochres and clays that abound on the earth's surface in sedementary deposits. |
