Fig. 5. SEM images of juvenile and adult alate Myzus persicae persicae. Nymph at developmental stages two to three, L2-L3 (A–A′′′′) or three to four, L3-L4 (B–B′′′′), and adult (C–C′′′′). The head and antennal tubercles (A′, B′) with diverging features and distinctive vertex (C′). The thoracic segments show an enlarged, still wingless second segment (A′′), the roots of the nymphal wing buds (B′′), and the segment with the attachment point of the forewings (C′′). The overview of the abdominal tergites identifies structural differences between juveniles (A′′′, B′′′) and adult (C′′′). Posterior abdominal tergites and cauda with the siphunculi (A′′′′, B′′′′) exhibiting distal swelling (C′′′′).
