Life cycle
Very little is known about this family, but in one species, the female scale has four instars.[2]
Genera
There are four genera, each with a single known species:
- Baloghicoccus costaricaensis
- Carayonema orousseti
- Foldicoccus monikae
- Mahunkacoccus mexicoensis
Foldicoccus monikae is flattened and leaf-shaped and the adult has six legs and a pair of antennae.[3]
gollark: For an entirely blank image, it's *weirdly* large.
gollark: 2020, mostly.
gollark: AES-128. Apioform generation. Euler's totient function. Reversing a string. 2048 (game). 2048 (number). Parse strings to integers. Text RPG (or just a character generator). Draw a Sierpinski triangle textually (or other fractal thing). Abelian sandpile model. Fibonacci sequences. Digital signal processing which is on Rosetta code for some reason. Balanced ternary. Levenshtein distance.
gollark: I was going to use experimental gollarious esolang™ 0.3 but it would have been too obvious so I just did the algorithm. But this was also too obvious?
gollark: Yes, experience 12849127489174 congratulation.
