This aphid I found on Rubus fruticosus in the Netherlands. It was striped in dark and light brown. The spiracles (I don't know if it is correct English?) were placed on a small lobe. Can someone tell the family or genus?

difficult to say. It is an aphid mummy. Probably Aphis sp.

Thanks both. Usually I don't try to find a name for aphids, but sometimes they are too beautiful Thanks, Andrzej. Thanks Larry for saying the word is correct. I thought it had to be 'spiracles', but I wasn't sure and couldn't find a translation of the Dutch word. Greetings, Niels. |

Hello, I thought that the correct word was cornicle. But I may be wrong. Pierre Duhem |
