Oleander Aphid Nymph
Aphis nerii (nymph)
This tiny bright yellow nymph lives in clusters on the tender stems, leaf buds, and new growth of oleander, milkweed, and related plants. It uses its slender piercing mouthparts to drink phloem sap while remaining largely exposed among its colony. Although wingless and immature, it gains chemical protection from toxins in its host plants and molts several times before becoming an adult.
