I'm in need of a species of aphid that is host specific to cereals,
preferably corn, that can be reared in an insectory. If your department or lab
is currently rearing aphids fitting this description and would be willing to
supply my lab with enough aphids to start a small colony and a rearing
protocol or tips to maintain these aphids I would appreciate it.
I am working on my M.S. in Entomology and need a colony of aphids to use as
a piercing/sucking pest on corn for the greenhouse experimentation portion of
my thesis research. Again, if you can spare some aphids or perhaps even know
someone who might, I would be in your debt.
Thanks for your time.
