Myzus persicae

Myzus persicae, commonly known as the green peach aphid, is a small insect that primarily affects plants, particularly peach trees and other crops. These aphids are often green or yellow and feed by sucking sap from plants, which can weaken them and reduce crop yields. They can also transmit plant viruses, leading to further damage. Myzus persicae reproduce quickly and can form large colonies, making them difficult to control. Effective management often involves using natural predators, insecticidal soaps, or other environmentally friendly methods to protect plants from their harmful effects.
