Aphids
Aphidoidea
This description was machine-translated.
How to spot it
You will find that aphids are the most common sucking pests in your garden. They sit in dense colonies on soft shoot tips, suck plant sap and excrete sticky honeydew, on which black sooty mold settles.
Severely infested shoots become stunted, and aphids also transmit viruses.
Prevention
Encourage beneficials such as ladybirds and hoverflies with flowering border strips; they usually keep aphids in check.
You can spray small colonies simply with water or crush them.
Avoid overfertilising with nitrogen, because tender growth tissue especially attracts aphids.
