Beeblossom Aphid
Macrosiphum gaurae
Macrosiphum gaurae, commonly known as the beeblossom aphid, is an aphid endemic to the North American continent.
From the article Macrosiphum gaurae on Wikipedia (CC BY-SA), quoted section by section
Description
The siphunculi are black like that of Macrosiphum rosae but the biggest thing to note is the host plant and aphid coloration, because Macrosiphum rosae does not use evening primrose plants or beeblossom plants, it uses Rosa species. Additionally there is an indent towards the butt spike of the aphid that distinguishes it from Macrosiphum rosae which does not have that deep of an indentation.
