Identification and Appearance
The body length of Myzocallis coryli alatae is 1.3 to 2.2 mm. It has ringed antennae and a inconspicuous dot on the wings of winged adults. For further details of this species please see the link below. Please provide good close-up images of the aphids to support your record, and also state the host species on which they were recorded. Associated with Hazel - the aphids live on the undersides of leaves. Myzocallis coryli lays its eggs in October on two or three year old twigs and branches of hazel. True status in Britain is difficult to determine due to lack of records. https://influentialpoints.com/Gallery/Myzocallis_coryli_Hazel_aphid.htm

About True Bugs, Cicadas, Hoppers, Aphids and Allies: the wider group
Order-level background for Hemiptera, the group containing Myzocallis coryli. Species-specific details appear above.
Group overview
Hemiptera (true bugs) includes over 80,000 described species across cicadas, aphids, leafhoppers, shield bugs, and bed bugs. Aphids alone cost global agriculture an estimated $2.5 billion annually in crop losses.
Ecological role of the group
Many Hemiptera are essential food sources for birds and predatory insects. Cicadas provide massive nutrient pulses during emergence events - a single Brood X emergence can involve trillions of individuals across 15 states.
Economic and practical significance of the group
The brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) caused $37 million in apple crop losses in a single year in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic region. Bed bug infestations in the U.S. increased by 500% between 2001-2010, costing the hotel industry hundreds of millions annually.
Recorded sources for this group: USDA, EPA, University research. Imported estimates may describe particular regions or reporting periods.
