Hi,
I have photographed this small (about 1-2mm) aphid on a daisy in a meadow (beginning of June, 20km west of Paris).
Any idea of its identity/genus?
Thanks for any help,
cheers,
FRV

In many cases host plant is important to identify the specimen to the species level but not always the identification problem will be solved in such way... It could be a larva of
Aphis sp.

It does appear to be a youngster, so may not have developed significant identification characters yet. Always worth searching around for adults (though often you need a specimen rather than just a photo!) :)
