  • Group of aphids feeding within a protected area formed by the curl at the base of a corn leaf. The alate, or winged aphid, is likely responsible for all the offspring surrounding her. check
  • Young aphid born to the much larger winged aphid to the left. During most of their life cycle, aphids do not lay eggs, rather they give birth to living young. This enables the population to build up very quickly. Just minutes after this aphid was born, it unfolded its legs and antennae and begin life on its own. check
