Habitat Preferences of Poplar petiole gall aphid Through Different Life Stages
The eggs of poplar petiole gall aphid are laid on their primary host, the bark and twigs of poplar trees, typically found in temperate climates near riverbanks or moist areas. After hatching, nymphs remain on the underside of leaves to feed and develop, often in dense colonies. To find them, inspecting the lower foliage of poplars in parks or forests is recommended. Adult poplar petiole gall aphid, which may have wings, can disperse to other plants but are commonly spotted on or near their preferred poplar hosts. Searching for adults involves checking both the lower and upper surfaces of leaves, as well as surrounding vegetation during the warmer parts of the day when they are most active.
