That it favors feeding on cowpeas is the reason for the name "cowpea aphid".

Specifically, the aphid in question carries the scientific name Aphis craccivora. It does not limit itself to a diet of cowpeas. It also is considered a major pest of alfalfa, lambs' quarters, lettuce, pepperweed, and shepherd's purse.
