What's eating my billbergia 'fantasia'?

Billbergia 'Fantasia' is primarily threatened indoors by scale insects and mealybugs, which hide in leaf axils and along the central tank. Spider mites may attack in hot, dry conditions. Inspect the water-holding cup and leaf bases regularly; treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap at first sign.
