That's a fancy way of saying I'm some kind of Aphid.
Dee unknowingly picked up me and 20 of my friends
We'd be easier to see if we were in the family Giraffid.
There are 2 tribes in the subfamily Aphidinae
Aphidini's like Macrosiphini, but not a copy -
Antennae length is one way to differentiate -
Aphidini's antennae are never longer than their body.
(Note: That is my finger it is on, it's a very tiny insect!)
