Winged Aphid - Myzus persicae
Springfield, Virginia, USA
November 27, 2004
There was an infestation of these aphids in my house this morning. I found both these winged individuals as well as smaller green nymphs crawling around my kitchen countertops, and I tracked them down to an old head of lettuce which was covered with hundreds of aphids. Very disgusting.
