Rhopalosiphum nymphaeae, the waterlily aphid, is a species of aphid in the family Aphididae. It is found in Europe. Appearance Typical for an aphid.
Life cycle Six to eight generations a year with the eggs overwintering on shrubby plants.
Pest Water lily damage at high populations results in the leaves winding themselves up as emerging out of the water, and they become withered and faded.
Pest Control Can be mechanical by removing the surface damaged water lilies to a nearby hard surface and heating under black plastic in the sun. Pesticides can be problematical.
