Colour blind aphids

[Sylvan]

We've been overrun (or should that be "overflown"?) by clouds of greenfly and blackfly lately. As soon as I squash them more land on the plant ...
Today, when I was inspecting my toms I found a mutant (cue Twilight Zone music) - a red greenfly.

I would have said "sunburn" if we hadn't had such bad weather.

Therefore it must be rust.

Aphids don't just come in green or black, they come in red and pretty pink too

[Sylvan]

Wow. It's taken me 50 years to see a red one. Hope it doesn't take another 50 to se a pink'un.

Wot, no Tories ? !
Isn't that just typical. Every other sort of politics represented, except that of the Conservatives. Oh well, maybe they're represented by some bloodsuckers somewhere.
(Just kidding. )

Bluebottles?

Neddie Seagoon would have said they should be deaded.

There are loads & loads of different aphids ~ over 500 species in the UK. Greenfly and blackfly are just the commonest ones to cause the gardener grief

So that's why people who can only visit their veggie patch once a week take up tiddlywinks !
