Threatening yellow aphids

December 03, 2020 in nature

Oleander Aphid (Aphis nerii)

Bugzilla says “Looks like A. nerii, which do a "collective twitching and kicking response" (see paper, which says the dance deters a parasitic wasp if they all work together, but not if they dance alone). This species colonizes Honey-vine climbing milkweed, Cynanchum laeve (observation by riset is here)”
