Yes, the peach potato aphid is considered a herbivore. It feeds on the sap of various plants, particularly peach and potato plants, by piercing their tissues with specialized mouthparts. This feeding behavior can lead to damage in the host plants and may also facilitate the transmission of plant viruses.

Herbivorous is the food chain and web category into which experts place aphids. The insects in question (Aphidoideasuperfamily) particularly relish the internal, life-sustaining saps which they access by piercing the tissue of a plant's foliage.

The peach-potato aphid eats the leaves of trees like the peach tree. This insect can cause a lot of damage to trees as well as crops.
Lacewing, ladybug and syrphid fly larvae eat peach and potato aphids. The beneficial insects in question feed upon both types of aphids, with their efforts being augmented by a parasitic fungus (Entomophthora aphidis) in terms of the green peach aphid.

No. An aphid is a primary consumer. Aphids feed on the sap of live plants.
The scientific or taxonomic name would be Myzus persicae.
The parasitic wasp Aphidius colemani is a parasite of green peach and melon aphids. The insect in question leaves eggs that hatch inside aphid hosts. The larvae spin cocoons that swell the aphid body sufficiently to exit what will be a brown, hard-shelled aphid mummy two weeks later.
Aphids [of the superfamily Aphidoidea] also may be called greenflies and plant lice. They account for over 4,400 species spread out over ten families. Some examples include the following:Apple aphid [Aphis mali];Black cherry aphid [Myzus cerasi];Cabbage aphid [Brevicoryne brassicae];Currant lettuce aphid [Nasonovia ribisnigriMosley];Green apple aphid [Aphis pomi];Green peach aphid [Myzus persicae];Rose aphid [Aphis rosae].The above list gives an idea of the range of plant that aphids damage and destroy. But an example also may be given of an aphid that's destructive of plants but helpful to people. It's the Chinese sumac aphid [Melaphis chinensis Bell]. This aphid causes a gall to form on the sumac. From the gall, traditional healers and doctors are able to come up with a treatment plan for coughs, diarrhea, dysentery, and intestinal bleeding.
