Attack of the clones!!! Green peach aphids, Myzus persicae, under a microscope, aren't they cute? But they will come for your crops... beware! If you are having issues with rhem in your garden, think about releasing some beneficials: ladybirds, lacewings, or parasitoid wasps... no spray spring!!!

Aphid location on plants is something that inspired me for this study: doi.org/10.1093/aesa... Pest behaviour is an underrated field that can help us better understand how to coexist with these animals without having to use broad spectrum pesticides that have serious consequences on our ecosystems.

Fieldwork in Australia means unexpected encounters.... it looks soft and the voices in my head go: pet it!
