Color is quite variable, ranging from yellow to green to black, depending on the species.
Populations of aphids can increase very rapidly due to their ability to bear live young and to reach the adult stage in as little as seven days. Often their colonies are found on new plant growth, clustering on the underside of the leaves. Aphids may be winged or wingless. They feed with piercing-sucking mouthparts, sucking juices from the plant. Infested plants may lose their natural color, wilt, or become disfigured due to the aphid feeding.
