  2. Honeydew (secretion) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeydew_(secretion)

    Honeydew is a sugar-rich sticky liquid, secreted by aphids, some scale insects, and many other true bugs and some other insects as they feed on plant sap. When their mouthpart penetrates the phloem , the sugary, high-pressure liquid is forced out of the anus of the insects, allowing them to rapidly process the large volume of sap required to ...

  3. Aphididae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphididae

    They move quite slowly and cannot jump or hop. Aphids excrete a sugary liquid called honeydew, because the plant sap from which they feed contains excess carbohydrates relative to its low protein content. To satisfy their protein needs, they absorb large amounts of sap and excrete the excess carbohydrates.

  4. Eriosomatinae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eriosomatinae

    Woolly aphids feed by inserting their needle-like mouthparts into plant tissue to withdraw sap. They are able to feed on leaves, buds, bark, and even the roots of the plant. As a result of feeding on the sap, woolly aphids produce a sticky substance known as honeydew , which can lead to sooty mold on the plant.

  5. Myzus persicae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myzus_persicae

    Some groups of aphids feed predominantly in the parenchymal tissue of plants while most aphid species feed on the phloem sap. [6] The green peach aphid ingests sugary fluids via a membrane. [ 12 ] While feeding on a plant long term, Myzus persicae can uptake chloroplast DNA , even though the chloroplasts themselves are uninjured.

  7. Tuberolachnus salignus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuberolachnus_salignus

    Tuberolachnus salignus uses two stylets to extract the sap flowing within the phloem. [4] [5] One is used to inject saliva into the phloem, while the other is used to ingest the sap and saliva mixture. [4] [5] Willow sap is an extremely nutritious food source, as it provides critical sugars and water to various parts of the willow tree.

  9. Acyrthosiphon pisum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acyrthosiphon_pisum

    It generally feeds on the lower sides of leaves, buds and pods of legumes, ingesting phloem sap through its stylets. Unlike many aphid species, pea aphids do not tend to form dense colonies where individuals would stay where they were born during their whole lifetimes. Pea aphids are not known to be farmed by ants that feed on honeydews.
