Thickness of cork cambium layer is uneven. Two types of tunnels are built, one chewed in cork cambium, the other being bark fissures covered by frass roofs. Tunnels are interconnected, with most diaspidids found in deepest tunnels closest to secondary phloem layer. Entrance hole covered by frass.

They then settle down and stop moving, in the process losing their legs and antennae as they develop into the second instar. (C) In free-living diaspidids outside the ant nest, these second instar are often protected by shields. (D) However, in the ant nest, the diaspidids develop into naked third instar adults with only very few adults developing shields in the process. (E) Pupillarial diaspidids like Ligaspis do not develop shields in the free-living form or in ant nests, growing within the pupillarium of the second instar adult instead.

Unlike most Diaspididae, ‘pupillarial’ adult females develop and lay eggs within the enlarged and hardened exuvia of the second instar (L2).A crawler (L1) had just emerged from the adult female (L2). Unlike the adult female (L2) the crawler has legs and is able to walk, allowing it to disperse. The tentorium of both crawler and adult are visible. The long, coiled stylets of the adult is visible.
