Red Goldenrod Aphids

8/8/2022

Picture
Red goldenrod aphids (Uroleucon nigrotuberculatum) feed on an Early Sunflower (Heliopsis helianthoides). Early-season aphids are generally wingless and don’t lay eggs; instead, they live-birth female nymphs (as seen here), who may also be already pregnant - without male involvement. 
Winged females usually develop later in the season, making it easier for them to travel to new plants. In addition, autumn brings on a phase of sexual reproduction, which produces eggs that survive the winter.

Never say there is nothing beautiful in the world anymore. 

There is always something to make you wonder in the shape of a tree, the trembling of a leaf.

Albert Schweitzer
