These little guys are responsible for huge damage in orchards and gardens.

They live in colonies and suck the fluids out of the leaves and fruits.

They lay their eggs on apple trees and when the nymphs emerge they can reproduce asexually for several generations. they also use the narrow leaved Plantain as a host plant...(of which I have an overabundance)

Found throughout the Us and Canada, these are an aggrivating pest.
