Plocamaphis flocculosa - Eggs about to fail These eggs must have been laid, as usual, in the crack between bud and twig, but as the bud has opened and already started growing, these are now lifted off and will probably drop to the ground soon.

The Waxy willow aphid

The Waxy willow aphid (Plocamaphis flocculosa) is a fairly large species of aphid (3.1-5.1mm) that lives unattended by ants on various species of Salix in North-West and North Europe and North America. It does not switch hosts, so the entire cycle can be completed on the same tree.
