aphid an insect of the order Hemiptera. They parasitize many plants during the warm seasons. Of interest in animal health are the black aphids, Aphis craccivora, which can exist in very large numbers on burr trefoil, Medicago polymorpha, and may stimulate the production of phytoallexins in the plant which then photosensitize animals grazing the infested pasture.

Aphids make a sweet liquid called honeydew that ants like to drink, so when ants tap the aphids with their antennae, the aphids will make honeydew for them, just like milking a cow Experts say the ladybirds are feasting on the natural larder of aphids or greenfly that descended on the farm last month. Aphids were surveyed in the beginning of planting season in several wheat plots throughout Alabama between 2005 and 2007 and in panhandle Florida from 2006 to 2007. |
