| Oleander Aphids |

| Aphids give live birth to nymphs that are already pregnant. Due to this cloning technique, they can pass on a new generation in five days. During late fall, aphids clone males, which then mate with the females. The females then lay eggs, which either sit around or get brought into an ant nest. (Ants protect aphids because aphids poop out a sugary substance known as honeydew. Ants harvest the honeydew for it's sugar content.) The eggs then hatch during spring |
