Some farming ant species gather and store the aphid eggs in their nests over the winter. In the spring, the ants carry the newly hatched aphids back to the plants. Some species of dairying ants (such as the European yellow meadow ant, Lasius flavus) [70] manage large herds of aphids that feed on roots of plants in the ant colony. Queens leaving ...
Aphids are small, soft-bodied, slow moving insects with piercing mouthparts that suck the sap out of plants. There are about 5000 different species.
Aphids do best when amino acids are actively translocated in the phloem. In spring, the leaves grow and import amino acids via the phloem; in summer leaves are mature and export mainly sugars. In autumn, the leaves senesce and export amino acids and other nutrients. Thus on trees the leaves are most suitable for aphids in spring and autumn.
Prolonged exposure to overspray of glyphosate will cause yellow leaves and new leaves will be small and elongated. Hormone weed sprays (e.g. 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T) may cause grotesque new growth with thin twisted leaves and distorted buds. Plants may die in severe cases.
The eggs are green but are difficult to differentiate between other species of aphid eggs. [2] Eggs are laid on branches and will typically hatch before other aphid species. As a nymph, R. oxyacanthae appears dark green with short cornicles at the end of its abdomen. [2] The nymphs will feed on the leaves of the host, and on the flower buds. [6]
