Where do plant aphids come from?

Plant aphids can come from other plants, as they are good at traveling from one host plant to another. They can also be brought in by wind or on animals. Lastly, aphids can reproduce rapidly, so a small infestation can quickly grow into a larger one.


How do Aphids reproduce both sexually and asexually?

Aphids primarily reproduce asexually through a process called parthenogenesis, where females give birth to live young without mating, allowing rapid population growth. In response to environmental changes or stress, some aphids switch to sexual reproduction, where males and females mate to produce fertilized eggs that can survive harsh conditions. This dual reproductive strategy enables aphids to thrive in various environments and adapt to changing circumstances.


Do aphids contain chlorophyll?

No, green aphids are coloured that way due to pigments called carotenes.


What plants do aphids affect?

Bindweed, lamb's quarters, and plantain are plants on which aphids live. The insects in question (Aphidoideasuperfamily) favor mating and sheltering on native plants which have reputations as weeds because of unappreciated or unknown benefits to humankind. They leave their homes to feed upon nearby edibles and ornamentals, to the delight of voracious ladybug beetles and the dismay of farmers, gardeners, and orchardists.


Can female aphids give birth to male aphids?

Yes, female aphids can give birth to males, but they cannot do so parthenogenically. Normally a female would reproduce asexually - she would give birth to exact clones of herself, but if she mates, she will then be capable of giving birth to unique aphids, both male and female.
