Overview

Aphids are small, soft-bodied insects. Their feeding habits can lead to stunted plant growth, deformed and discolored leaves, and the production of galls on leaves, stems, or roots. Aphids are vectors of plant viruses, capable of transmitting viruses from one infected plant to other healthy plants.
