Aphis gerardiae
False Foxglove Aphid
Aphis gerardiae is a species of aphid in the family Aphididae, originally described by Thomas in 1879 as Siphonophora gerardiae. Commonly known as the False Foxglove Aphid, this species is associated with plants in the genus Gerardia (false foxgloves). As with other members of genus Aphis, it likely exhibits typical aphid characteristics including piercing-sucking mouthparts and complex life cycles involving both sexual and asexual reproduction phases. The species has been documented through limited observations, with iNaturalist recording 7 observations as of the knowledge cutoff.
