A bright green aphid giving birth to a smaller, fully formed aphid on the back of a nettle leaf.
If anyone wonders why #aphids seem to spread so rapidly on your bean plants etc in the garden, here is an aphid giving live birth to another fully formed aphid!
Avoiding the usual #insect egg-larva-adult stages & females reproducing without males (parthenogenesis) their numbers explode.
#entomology
combat aphids on garden plant by crushing them and wipe the mush back onto the plant. Aphids release a scent trail that parasitic wasps can pick up on and they’ll come make mummies of the rest of the aphids. Worked well on my penstemon. Wasp with mummy photo from a few years ago #aphids #gardentip

#aphids on a plant stalk. They are pests but I think they look very cute up close. Cows of the ant world 😆

Are #predator-prey interactions influencing the wing development and consequential spread of #aphids?
Check out the interesting results from this preliminary #predator-prey #model that used the aphid 𝘔𝘺𝘻𝘶𝘴 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘦 as a model species👇

Don’t know if it works adding tags afterwards but out of space.
Oh and don’t judge me for still being in bed, helluva week, just gone downstairs to make more espresso, and some toast to bring back to my wife in bed!

Our new study on the overwintering ecology of Myzus persicae is out 🎉
Winter host plant choice strongly affects aphid survival & performance—and Virus Yellows risk in sugar beet.
Including winter hosts in forecasting models can strengthen sustainable IPM and reduce insecticide use 🌱

This last picture also has some well camouflaged hangers on, although with the number of blue titmice in the garden, I don't think the aphids will go unnoticed for long.

I start growing herbs and veggies indoors and I get fucking #aphids! I can’t win with this old ass #Somerville basement. 😆 I don’t even get aphids outdoors. 🤷♂️ #gardening #Mass
