Extract

At the end of June, 1942, large colonies of a black aphid, indistinguishable from Doralis fabae (Scop.), were found on foxgloves growing on a hillside in Westmorland. This aphid was found commonly in the mountainous districts of Westmorland and Cumberland in 1943, Caernarvonshire in 1945, and Anglesey in 1946. Observations to be described below have indicated that in nature, this aphid spends the whole of its life on foxgloves, and experiments have shown that it does not readily feed upon the economically, important host plants of D. fabae.
