Aphid
Springfield, Virginia, USA
February 4, 2005
Size: 1-2 mm
I found a small colony of these tiny aphids living on an African violet. There were lots of molted skins everywhere, but very few winged adults such as this one. Smaller than the aphid varieties I usually see at other times of the year.
