Body chemistry, food source, natural defense, and species memberships are reasons why some aphids are orange. For example, milkweed and oleander aphids (Aphis nerii) have orange bodies with black legs and side tubes (cornicles). The milkweed-like coloration intends to repel predators by warning of unpleasant smells, tastes and textures in store for anyone with milkweed and oleander aphids in mind for meals and snacks.
