Aphids

It is with trepidation that Crumby approaches the topic, aphids. Mercy. Crumby does not even know if these aphids are homops or hemips. That’s how ignorant Crumby is. Yet these aphids sport the colors of anarcho-syndicalism, so they can’t be all bad.

Mercy! Do you know where honeydew comes from? Well! In fact, an average aphid squirts honeydew out its anus. How about that?

The honeydew attracts ants. So when you see an ant trailing an aphid you know what’s going down. See those littler aphids. They were born live last night. Guess where they came from. You guessed it, just like the delicious honeydew, those babies came out of the bigger aphids’ ani or anuses.

This year, inspired by these red and black ones, Crumby has decided to follow the progress of the different aphids that show up at the CB. Funny. In the past we have had yellow aphids and black aphids, but none of these here ones. The plant is Verbesina virginica
