Hi all,

I found this rather attractive orange aphid with black-patterned wings yesterday. Any ideas as to who it is?

Found on a shed door...
...under an unidentified tree.

Thanks for looking!

Take care,

Jason

Eucallipterus tiliae looks the closest. Could the unidentified tree have been a lime?

Thanks Jag!! I appreciate the ID, these aphids are often quite difficult. No idea about the tree but it's always losing branches, so I'll post a photo of one in the Tree forum for an ID soon.

Oh, and how would you like your name credited on my site when I add this one during the next major update? Naturally the ID will reflect your sentiments of 'Looks the closest to' too, unless you're certain and happy with it - that's my site's policy on naming.
