Aphis nerii
Spotted crawling on my swan plant. Also known as the oleander aphid. Aphis nerii is an obligate, viviparous and parthenogenetic species which means that the adult aphids are all females and they produce live clones of the female nymph rather than eggs. The adult females may be winged or wingless. PredatorsLadybird Beetles and nymphs, also the parasitic wasp Aphidius colemani
