Yes, aphids are used to study the process of translocation in plants.

Specifically, an aphid is a small, soft-bodied insect whose preferred food source is plant sap. Its sucking mouthparts leave behind sheaths on the plant's tissues. The marks tell researchers exactly where in the plant's transportation system the tissues were breached and the fluids removed.
