Update on willow–carrot aphids

Willow carrot aphids are now flying in many areas - see previous blog posts. Our counts on 3 x 0.5m lengths of carrot row at Wellesbourne yesterday produced a total of 38 winged aphids and 13 progeny (wingless aphids), which is an increase on the count made on 4th June.
