• Winged It is often called gallic aphid. It is different in color, it is orange in the insect. On the sides of the pest are the rudiments of wings. Female aphids of this species feed on young leaves and their juice. Small growths that appeared in the lower part of the leaflets are eggs laid aside. Larvae, falling down, begin to spoil the rhizome, which leads to the death of the vine. Photos of grape aphids and its consequences can be seen on the site.
