What does COCCID mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A small sap-sucking insect of the scale insect and mealybug group.
Coccids cling to stems and leaves, often under a waxy or shell-like covering, and some of them damage fruit trees and houseplants. The insects are small and rarely move once settled, so gardeners usually notice the coating or the sticky residue before the coccid itself. The word is used mainly by entomologists and by people who grow plants.
