They have long, thin legs with two-jointed, two-clawed tarsi. The majority of aphids are wingless, but winged forms are produced at certain times of year in many species.
Do aphids grow wings?
The aphids are normally wingless, but as populations on any plant grow to crowded proportions, some of the females start to produce winged young – which then fly off to colonise new areas. Once the winged insects land on fresh plants, their own offspring revert to the standard wingless model.
How do I get rid of winged aphids?
- Remove aphids by hand by spraying water or knocking them into a bucket of soapy water.
- Control with natural or organic sprays like a soap-and-water mixture, neem oil, or essential oils.
- Employ natural predators like ladybugs, green lacewings, and birds.
