Green Peach Aphid
The Green Peach Aphid is a small, soft-bodied insect known for its green color and pear-shaped body. It primarily feeds on the sap of various plants, particularly those in the Peach family, which can lead to stunted growth and reduced yields. These aphids are often found in large colonies on the undersides of leaves.
These pests can also transmit plant viruses, making them a concern for farmers and gardeners. They reproduce quickly, with females capable of giving birth to live young without mating. Effective management strategies include natural predators like ladybugs and the use of insecticidal soaps.
