Bird Cherry-Oat Aphid
Rhopalosiphum padi
Adult bird cherry-oat aphids inhabit cereal crops, grasses, and bird cherry trees, feeding by drawing sap from vascular tissue. Winged adults can disperse between host plants, while wingless adults remain among suitable foliage and reproduce rapidly. This species is an important agricultural pest and can transmit plant viruses while feeding.
