Yes, some aphids can -- but no, other aphids cannot -- fly.

Specifically, the insects in question are small and generally have all the necessary parts to qualify as an insect. But they also are likely not to have wings or not to use them if they do have them. Wings tend to be found on those aphids which emerge in overpopulated areas in which the population cannot survive on existing food sources. Winged aphids will transport their wingless nymphs and younger aphids to other host plants.

yes, they jump very well. if you see one jumping off your plant, it is pretty much a suicide leap cause once aphids resort to leaving the plant they are feeding, they die.
