Really heavy crop but you still see what's happening, apparently the female doesn't need a male to reproduce she does it all on her own.   on photobucketGeorge

LOL They do drop several offspring in succession. I've seen rose aphids and cabbage aphids giving birth. Sometimes you'll find a big female with a few newborns around her on a leaf. PRONOUN ADVISORY: OhLook is a she. | Comments welcome
