Aphididae

Aphididae, commonly known as aphids, are small sap-sucking insects that belong to the family of aphids. They are typically found on plants, where they feed on the sap from leaves, stems, and roots. Aphids can be found in various colors, including green, black, and pink. They reproduce quickly, often creating large populations that can damage plants by stunting growth or transmitting diseases. Some species also excrete a sticky substance called honeydew, which can attract other pests. Their presence can be both a nuisance for gardeners and an important part of the food web for other insects and animals.
