NORWICH: Japanese Elm Aphids

Mid-October 2022

On the way home one evening I cut through a small wood and had a look for insects on an Elm leaf. I spotted several young aphids, but nearby was an alate (winged adult). I was able to identify it as  Japanese Elm Aphid (Tinocallis takachihoensis), a new species for me. My pictures aren't very good but you can find out more about it on the Influential Points website here: https://influentialpoints.com/Gallery/Tinocallis_takachihoensis_Japanese_elm_aphid.htm
