Dear experts,

I found the attached insect in late May on a sunny day at the edge of a small forest south of munich on a leaf.

Unfortunately I only have this one photograph of it.
The abdomen seems to be transparent?

Hopfefully someone will know what this is.

Kind Regards

Thomas

An aphid, knowing the plant that it was feeding on might help with a better ID.


Thank you very much for your help, Maks.

I do not yet know which plant it was. But I hope to find the place again and find out which plant it was.

Kind Regards

Thomas
