Two kinds of aphids, winged and wingless. Wings appear only when the
insects feel required to move stakes. Perhaps Uriah tasted so good they
were in no hurry to move across to AB.
Or perhaps AB did have aphids, but not enough for you to see yet. After
all, you missed the nascent colony that came in on Uriah. :-)
