TED-Ed: The bug that poops candy | George Zaidan

The video explains the biology and behavior of aphids, small insects that feed on plant sap. It details their feeding mechanism, which involves piercing plant tissues to access sap under high pressure. Aphids have a unique life cycle, with rapid reproduction through telescopic development. Their waste, known as honeydew, is a sugary substance that attracts ants and bees. The video also highlights the ecological interactions between aphids, plants, and other species.
