Aphids come in various colors, including green, black, and brown, and they target a wide range of plants, from ornamental flowers like roses to vegetables such as zucchini, tomatoes, cauliflower, and peppers. They thrive in mild temperatures and young crops, making spring and early summer peak times for infestations.<\/p>\n
