The sugarcane aphid, (Melanaphis sacchari), is an aphid in the superfamily Aphidoidea in the order Hemiptera.

It is a true bug and sucks sap from plants.

It is mostly found in Saccharum and Sorghum species.

[1][2] The species primarily reproduces via parthenogenesis, although sexual morphs have been discovered in China, Japan, and Mexico - in China the eggs overwinter in the host Miscanthus sacchariflorus.
