A stylet-mouthed, thin-legged insect whose black, brown, colorless, green, or pink body ends in what looks like a tiny tail between a pair of two-clawed, two-jointed mini-legs is what an aphid looks like. The insect in question (Aphididae family) otherwise models the typical look of one pair each of compound eyes and sensory antennae skeleton on the exterior; three-part division of body into head, thorax, and abdomen; and three sets of jointed legs. An aphid simultaneously will be said to have the look of a pest since a pair of abdominal tubes releases defensive, triacylglycerol-rich cornicle wax and since piercing, sipping mouth-parts rupture plant tissue to remove life-sustaining phloem and xylem.
