Aphids, plant pests.

in #photography9 years ago
I found them on the grass near the rice fields where there are lots of Ladybug. Previously I thought they are newly hatched baby ladybug because I also found a ladybug eggs there. After a search on the internet I also found pictures of them on an article covering ladybug. Apparently they are food ladybug, no wonder there are many ladybug on the grass.

They are Aphids, also called plant lice. In addition to being food ladybug, original character they are as destructive pests of plants cultivated temperate region. The damage they do to plants has made them enemies of farmers and gardeners around the world.
On the grass I see them very much, they are capable of extremely rapid increase is in numbers by asexual reproduction.
Many species of aphids are green, there are also other species obtained may be white and fluffy, brown, or black, but the place I found them I do not see any aphids color other than brown.
