| scopeNote | There are about 4000 species of aphids worldwide, of which about 250 are serious pests. Aphids are garden pests as they feed on plant sap by inserting their stylets (mouthparts) into the plant's phloem. As well as damaging the plant, they can transmit plant viruses. Plant sap is high in sugars, but low in proteins, so aphids have to ingest large volumes of sap to get a balanced diet. This is why aphids produce honeydew, a sugary excretion, which can provide a substrate for sooty moulds. http://www.royensoc.co.uk/insect_info/what/aphids.htm RD
