dark red aphid - might it be Staticobium?
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
July 16, 2017
Size: body 1.6 mm
This is a stacked shot (70 frames) of a living aphid; ZereneStacker was able to follow its body movement, but not the antennae. I'd appreciate any suggestions as to ID, including suggestions for useful further views; it and a dozen compatriots are in a specimen container still sucking away :) Host plant Sonchus arvensis.

Probably Uroleucon.
This is immature though, need an adult to be confident on ID, but when you see a ton of red aphids on Asteraceae its most likely Uroleucon.
