Natural history and identification
Sitobion fragariae is a plant-feeding aphid treated in INRAE's species identification reference. Published food-plant records include Fragaria, the strawberries. That association is distinct from the Atlas's Kauaʻi detection history; the island checklist does not identify the plants supporting a particular local colony.
