Manzanita Leafgall Aphid
Tamalia coweni
The Manzanita Leafgall Aphid is a tiny bug that lives on manzanita leaves. It makes little bumps called galls on the leaves where it lives and feeds. These galls can look like small, round balls on the leaves.
生息地: Forests
外見
The Manzanita Leafgall Aphid is a small, soft-bodied insect, typically pale green to greenish-yellow. It has a rounded, pear-shaped body and short antennae. This aphid is visually distinct because it lives inside conspicuous, bright red or yellow bladder-like galls on manzanita leaves, making the gall itself a key visual feature.
