Purple-spotted Lily Aphid

Macrosiphum lilii, commonly known as the purple-spotted lily aphid, is a species of insect in the family Aphididae.

M. lilii consumes the phloem, or nutrient-rich sap, of plants. Nymphs and adults alike use their mouthparts to poke into the outer plant tissue, often the leaves of a plant, to feed on the phloem within.
