Aphids are in the family Aphididae of the order Hemiptera, with about 1,350 species in North America (5,000 worldwide), although only a handful are considered serious pests. Aphids damage a variety of host plants by sucking the juices from leaves and stems, causing discoloration, leaf curling, yellowing, and stunted growth.
