Oriental Citrus Aphid

Hemiptera; Aphidoidea; Unidentified Aphididae."The Aphididae are a very large insect family in the aphid superfamily (Aphidoidea), of the order Hemiptera.

Habitat:

I spotted this infestation on a Philippine Lime Tree (Citrus microcarpa) in our front garden. This citrus plant is locally known as Kalamansi.
