Green Peach Aphid
Myzus persicae
The adult green peach aphid is a small soft-bodied insect found on many crops, garden plants, and weeds, often clustering on new growth where sap is easy to reach. It feeds with piercing-sucking mouthparts and excretes sugary honeydew that can attract ants and sooty mold. Adults may be wingless for rapid reproduction or winged when dispersing to new host plants. This species is notable for spreading many plant viruses while feeding.
