March of the aphids

A female can live for 25 days, during which time she can produce up to 80 new aphids. Spring and summer reproduction occurs asexually – without males. I assume the big one at the top is the mom - I should have saved this shot for mother's day. The whole family of little ones all enjoying their summer time picnic.
