Chun, I checked out your link & it does look very similar. Margarita, it certainly is!
Really giant for an aphid!
Looks like one of my spottings from China http://www.flickr.com/photos/wong_chun_x...I assume these are Longistigma aphids too.
Thank you harsuame!Argy it is huge compared to the other aphids around here too! A well named critter!
Excellent set of pics karen. 1cm is huge compared to our garden aphids. They would be struggling to get over 1mm. Very interesting insect.
