Re: Orange aphids

I have observed a bright yellow orange coloured aphid that lives 
underground on the roots and subterranean stems of plants, 
particularly perennials and small soft wooded sub-shrubs. I haven't 
observed them too closely, preferring to drench the few plants I 
have found with sudsy warm water but I wonder if such as these 
might not form a reservoir for terrestrial invasions? They seem 
completely impervious to very wet soils and to cold weather (not 
freezing)
