Greenfly, also known as aphids, are attracted to plants because they feed on sap. They reproduce rapidly, which can lead to large populations in a short amount of time. Additionally, they are attracted to the chemical signals emitted by plants when they are stressed or damaged.
To effectively get rid of greenfly in your garden, you can use natural remedies like spraying them with a mixture of water and dish soap, introducing natural predators like ladybugs, or using insecticidal soap. Regularly inspecting your plants and removing infested ones can also help control the greenfly population.
A greenfly or aphid as it is know scientifically feed from plant stems or leaves using its mouth which contains a slender tube that has two stylets down either side of the tube. A labium that is shaped like a sheath encloses the tube and when not in use holds it horizontally beneath the thorax. When feeding this labium shortens and bends as the central tube with its stylets pierce the epidermis of the leaf or the stem,
Assuming 10% energy transfer efficiency between trophic levels, the greenfly would receive approximately 60 gm^2 of energy (10% of the rose plant's biomass). This is calculated by multiplying the biomass of the rose plant (600 gm^2) by the energy transfer efficiency (10%).
