Apple Aphid Winged Adult
Aphis pomi (winged)
Winged adult apple aphids occur in apple orchards, gardens, and other rosaceous plants, particularly when crowded colonies produce dispersing forms. They fly to fresh host shoots, where they feed by drawing phloem sap through slender mouthparts and may establish new colonies. Their winged form allows rapid colonization of new trees, helping infestations spread between suitable plants.
