Default Wooly aphids

cliff_the_gardener writes
No, but similar in that they are both sap suckers
Woolly Aphid = Eriosoma lanigerum
Mealy bugs= Pseudococcus viburni (as found in in glasshouses and
indoer plants in Britain)

Both in order Hemiptera, suborder Homoptera, but different families - is
that right?
