Description

It has a slender body that is slightly pointed and has very short siphons at the back. It occurs on plums, black thorns and marsh grasses. Common everywhere. By mid-summer it lives on the underside of plum or blackthorn leaves. The winged specimens replace the host and migrate to marsh grasses, especially reeds.
