  • agroecologist · plausible

    “Aphids (Aphididae, esp. Brevicoryne brassicae) are universally recognized cabbage pests; source quote and tropical context fully support.”

  • entomologist · plausible

    “Aphididae feeding on cabbage is textbook; Brevicoryne brassicae and Myzus persicae are well-documented cabbage phloem-feeders; family-level invertebrate classification correct.”
