Hi,
I would like to identify this aphid photographed at the end of August in the suburbs of Paris (on a lawn).
2-3mm.
Any idea of it identity? Thanks for help,
FRV

I might be helpful to know the host plant...

I think it may be the curly dock
Rumex cripus.

So
Aphis evonymi comes close, which does not only feed on
Euonymus europaeus, but may also live on
Rumex - see

I wished I knew Aphids better!

Thanks Sundew, actually I have checked from pictures on internet and my specimen very much looks like
Aphis evonymi!
