Photo 23 Aug 79 notes rhamphotheca: Pea aphids (Acyrthosipion pisum) extracting sap from the stem and leaves of garden peas. Here, nymphs surrounding the mother aphid were produced parthenogenetically (the mother producing genetic clones of herself) and viviparously (live birth). Sexual reproduction can be induced by shorter amounts of daylight. (photo: Shipher Wu, National Taiwan Univ.)
