I pictured this little male criter in the Sénart forest (near Paris).
Does this ring a bell for some of you?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for this proposition.

Do you really think this is an Aphid?

Wonderful. Thanks a lot.

As a matter of fact, Orthezia urticae was first described by Linnaeus as Aphis urticae.
