Acyrthosiphon pisum, commonly known as the pea aphid (and colloquially known as the green dolphin,[1][2] pea louse, and clover louse[3]), is a sap-sucking insect in the family Aphididae. It feeds on several species of legumes (plant family Fabaceae) worldwide, including forage crops, such as pea, clover, alfalfa, and broad bean,[4] and ranks among the aphid species of major agronomical importance.[5] The pea aphid is a model organism for biological study whose genome has been sequenced and annotated.[6]
