Encyclop'APHID

Developmental stages

The aphids are hemimetabolous, meaning that their different larval stages are active and resemble apterous adult forms. They have the same living habits, feed in the same way -and cause just the same kind of damage- as those adults.

A female aphid can give birth to large batches of larvae (see the video). Their development consists of 4 larval stages and one adult stage, with a moult between each one (see the video). The 4 larval stages are distinguished essentially by the size and degree of development of appendages, number of antennal segments, the form and size of cornicles and of the cauda. The cauda of larval stages is either very weakly differentiated from the abdomen or not at all, unlike the adult stage where it is clearly distinct. In future alates, the wing buds do not appear until the 3rd larval stage. From the birth of the adult stage the development lasts between 8 and 10 days depending on climatic conditions.
An adult lives for 10 to 120 days with an average of 50 to 60 days. It weighs about 1mg.
It can produce between 40 and 60 larvae. Aphid larval development can be summarized as follows:
