larvae on mandarin tree
Our 4 yr old mandarin tree has got small white larvae on it - both on the wood and the leaves. They are fluffy, powdery even, though the surface looks a bit ridged. Inside they are yellow, like the yolk of an egg. Are they caterpillar larvae, or something harder to get rid off? Hope someone knows, thanks

Most likely "mealybugs" if they look like this
