Aphids have beak-like mouthparts through which they suck plant juices. In addition, they produce a sticky waste product, honeydew, on which sooty mold develop.

Aphids or lice as they are commonly called feed on tobacco by sucking the sap from the leaves. They are generally found on the lower surface of the leaves where they multiply extremely fast under favorable conditions. Mostly they have their young alive but at times may lay eggs.
