A Close Up View at What Aphid Mummies Look Like.

Aphids have several predators that feed on them. One of those is the parasitic wasp. They lay their eggs on the aphids, and their larvae consume the aphids as they grow. The larvae then spins a cocoon inside the dead aphid, producing what you see in this video.....the aphid mummy. I garden in zone 6b. We have some pretty challenging weather sometimes. I don't claim to be an expert, so you will see my successes and my failures. Although most of my videos are about gardening, I will occasionally post videos about nature, or other things that interest me. I really appreciate feedback, so please say hi so I'll know you've dropped by. If you would like to be notified when new videos are posted, please subscribe at:    / warletters   I also have a gardening blog at: http://mygardenyourgarden.blogspot.com I recently started a page on facebook. It will include photos and some additional information that doesn't show up on youtube.   / midwestgardener
