Identification/Recommendations
Identification:
Turnip aphid (Hyadaphis (Lipaphis) pseudobrassicae (erysimi))
Category:
Insects or Mites
Comments:
Closely related to the garlic mustard aphid, Lipaphis alliariae, but has a wider host range of cole crops and wild brassicas.

For more information about aphids on garlic mustard, see: https://www.canr.msu.edu/news/a-guide-to-aphids-that-feed-on-garlic-mustard-in-michigan

Mixed colonies of aphid species can occur on host plants.
