Aphids
I read an interesting short article today on Aphids.
Seems like if we see the start of some on our plants, it's best to act quickly, as I didn't know how quickly they breed.
It seems female aphids (greenfly & blackfly), are capable of virgin births - no males required.
Also, these females can carry developing young, which are themselves already carrying devleoping young also!!
So you can imagine, this increases their population very rapidly.
One 'estimate' reckoned that one aphid could generate
600 billion descendants - in one season!
So keep a sharp look out.
